A Beautiful and Unique 2006 Country Coach Affinity

Whew! I am not complaining I'm just quite a bit overextended recently. One of my dealer clients had a long time friend that lives on the East Coast is purchasing a 2006 Country Coach Affinity from National Indoor RV Center in Las Vegas, NV. Due to unplanned life events, was not able to travel to see it before purchasing, so my friend asked if I would inspect it. So join me as I load up the 2001 Beaver Patriot Thunder as a mobile repair vehicle and travel to Las Vegas for an almost vacation but was really more of a 36 hour service call. Luckily, I was able to bring my daughter so it was a fun trip
Oh yeah, beside some notable damage, this 2006 Country Coach Affinity was in fantastic shape and well represented by the selling dealer. To say it has a unique paint scheme would be a drastic understatement.
I apologize if I took too much time explaining the situation.
Thanks for watching!

We bought a 2006 country coach as a “fixer upper” that had a small electrical fire. It’s in incredible condition! Not one crack, not one loose screw, but it did have water damage in the powder room! We repaneled the whole room to give it a cohesive look. Nothing was molded 👍🏻👍🏻

Another great video James which I really appreciate. I learn something new with each of your inspections. A delightful coach as long as you don’t mind wearing dark glasses 😎 for the exterior of the RV. It’s definitely not my choice of colors but, if it makes you happy then it’s just perfect 👍 You are a very good friend to know and I hope your friend know appreciates your kindness especially on a holiday weekend. Sending you my best wishes from the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 and, I will be over soon and likely will need your assistance when I buy my RV 😉⭐️💫

Wow to find a Country Coach 2006 in that great of a shape is amazing to me. Seems like many years ago Winnebago found it much easer to buy out your compactor, so they did just that . Most of the companies was putting out products that was way better and wound hold up a lot better. I can only guess this happens every day to many companies. Loved the video and what a great motorhome EZ . Let me know if they do not buy this coach because I will ! ! !

@chrish4483 2 жыл бұрын

Much agreed for the same reasons. Beautifully maintained coach about the same vintage as my own. I would suggest the biggest maintenance problems / look outs for the new owner would be updating the dry PTO to a wet system and switching from the Danfoss fan controller to the more reliable thermal wax valve kit, confirming the brakes are in good shape and the HWH suspension too..Otherwise that coach with the updates @AZ Expert suggests will continue for many years to be the darling of the rv/coach park.

Love the channel. Is it possible, I know time is an issue. To quickly talk about construction of class a coaches and trailers a little more. R values. I can tell buy thickness of vents skylights as to an idea of r value. This coach had 6-8 inches from what I saw. Foam 3.5 inch maybe r20? heated tanks,placement of them, if u like construction. Is thier much difference in aluminum framing in higher end coaches,vs lower, ect.. just briefly. Thanks !

Real USA...all that weight , ceramics, glass , dishwashers even Tiffany lamps 😂..sorry ....it's just too much...for us Europeans. Stay home if ye want home that much. Book a hotel or air bnb instead of bringing home on holiday/vacation. It's beautiful, I'd love to live in full time.... I'm struggling paying for a good 1/2 man 4000hh tent ⛺ to camp West coast of Ireland, where these RVs I see now and again here, after relocating here. Lot smaller and needs must due to our climate, like very few sun 😎 days...hence South Coast I relocated to trying to get as many as possible in a stunning country. I do love seeing these RVs , it's so Frasier Crane , sorry Martin Crane , makes me smile and watch.... Must be great to afford such luxury...and I lived in USA no one cooks dinner , in stunning kitchens anyway , ya"ll eat out , it's so inexpensive compared to here ROI , UK.
