Default Checking out a bird

Hi all,

In my search for a FC, I found one and have been in contact with the seller. The issue is the bus is in Alabama and I'm in Nevada. If one can't make it out to inspect , how do most future owners do it? Do people hire a service or can members inspect it.
With my current schedule, if coach checks out flying out and driving it back would be my only opportunity. The seller has been sending me pictures I have requested and has been very informative about the bus.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thx.

Sometimes a local member is willing to go look at. Helps too if seller has been an active member here. Or many have traveled to look at a coach only to decline to buy (or buy and drive home).
I bought mine but had Gino’s Garage service some main items before driving back.

Do you know if the owner has been active here? If so, many may know the coach and could chime in.

Morning all, in talking to the seller, he has listed it for a family member. It doesn't sound like either us an active member. Over the years they have mainly used it for just going to the lake, nothing to far away. The coach is located in Culman, I'm sure members have seen the listing. The bus has "Hoosier Pride" on the front of it. And if anyone knows anything about this bus, any info would be appreciated. Thx all!
