HaHaha I have to keep mine on the center console at all times.

Looks like they had to bail out the back.
Next bid is $150...trans to Alabama $600
Sad...most all will smell like smoke

[John H.]

Looks very fixable

for sure.

could have been a fuse box Fire.

Motorhome AIRSTEAM 35'

This caught my eye a while back at 12k, now its lowered to 10k.

The owner emailed me these pics, maybe someone on the forum is looking for a 345, I'm happy with a 28' Excella

Apparently has 95k

[John H.]

there again. would you advertise YOUR coach like that. ?

and expect top $$$

Ladder leaned against the side.

camera case and whatever sitting around the interior.

Your Presentation of a valuable asset is of utmost important to a potential buyer.

and In my opinion, relays HOW a vehicle was used and Maintained. Or NOT maintained by the owner.

I can think of several items on that 345 worth the $150 + $690 shipping to southwest georgia.

Hope it doesn't sell to the guy who tried to charge me $700 for a side window (which I fixed with a $30 piece of lexan) I understand capitalism and all that but that is just pure greed for salvage items!!

I may be party to a collective buy if someone wants to take the lead, for first dibs of course I could use the spare tire cover and the rear passenger side banana wrap to name a couple of items. The wheels and hubs, airconditioners, generator, water pump, hot water heater, appliances, etc may all be in good working order. The tag axles as Andy from Inland RV says they're not making them anymore. The list goes on.

I'd buy for parts alone if my wife wouldn't filet my hind should it turn up in the back yard!

It'd be a major undertaking though to bring this unit back to life.

[Waipio Rim]

I think it's a 310, not a 345 - no tag axle. Looks pretty much exactly like ours, which is scary.

You are right, there's lots of good, expensive stuff there.

[klattu]

I also would be interested in a group buy... but I can't think of why.
(must be a pack rat)

[John H.]

yes, me to.

but what the heck.

Found this later model 290LE across from our campground just outside Liverpool, Nova Scotia. Owner was out running errands according to neighbor. She is an artist recently moved up from New York. We left our email and Airforums info.

Well, here's one I spotted in Gulfport, Florida yesterday, August 29, 2011. It's the one I just finally bought! More pix on my profile. Thanks, Derek

Believe me, if I find anymore in this condition, I'll be sure to let everyone on the Forum know about it. Have found a few 'niggling' things to take care of (ignition switch spins, gotta find the set-screw) but still pinching myself. Maybe some driving lessons. I do have a new theme song though, old Box Car Willie song, "Give Me 40 Acres and I'll Turn This Rig Around".....

Gonna keep the blue paint scheme no matter what. Will do my best to remove clearcoat (some already gone) and shine the exposed aluminum. Thinking the paint and mirror finish would look really good! Thanks, Derek

We have the blue-stripe edition...somewhat ragged, but we call it home 9 months of the year...you will overpack for several years with stuff you will never need until you leave it at your home without wheels...it's a challenging exercise, but gets to be fun until(in our case) the snows start coming...we usually just start at the back and pull everything out when we get home, evaluate, and pack less stuff...
Be careful with the dash things...I have had the same ignition problem, and was able to 'fix' it by pulling the dash loose, but LORDY!!! the wiring back there would make a bird's nest look simple...finally went to someone who could replace it and realign the set screws for the dash...just one of those expenses you have purchased with your unit, but park that lady once, in the rain, and you will appreciate what you have done.
Keep us posted...m

[Mike Leary]

In my experience, having a 280 & 310, the tech who wired under the dash did not like his job.
