For Sale: Awesome 1985 Winnebago Chieftain

Just completed a year-long tour of the U.S. in this vintage class A motorhome. It was an outstanding home and well-loved under our care.  She’s got a lot of life left in her.

Description

During the past year, we spent 75% of the time boondocking in the western U.S.  The rig is able to carry enough water and propane to easily accommodate a week or more away from campgrounds. It starts right up.  We would happily take off for another round-the-U.S. trip in it tomorrow.  Unfortunately, my year-long sabbatical is over and I have to go back to work.   Originally purchased 1 year ago in southern California.  We are the third owners.  No rust.  Looks great for its age.

Heads Up’s 

Like most vehicles from the 80s, it has some quirks.   We have had to tighten a serpentine belt several times.  Seems to be fine now.  No microwave oven.  The oven does not work (but the stove does).  The air suspension is slow to fill up. The previous owner clipped the plastic shell of the rear AC unit.  There is a 6 inch crack along the rear edge.  Does not effect functionality.  The upholstery is pulling in places which is why we used seat covers.
