We drove six hours to look at some used Holiday Ramblers on their lot. The salesman went out with us, and warned us that the brakes would go almost to the floor before they engaged because "these are "power assist" brakes, and that's how they work." The rig rolled after being put in park because "the older transmissions weren't as tight as new ones."\r

I suggested we drive another rig of the same year, make, and model to compare. He refused, because "you just can't compare two units - they're going to drive differently." I asked if the other didn't have the same chassis - "yes, but they're going to be different."\r

We wanted to flip on mechanicals to see how things turned over. "Oh, we'll make sure everything works." We wanted to hear the generator run while we were there, but that wasn't possible because the tank was below 1/4 tank, and they wouldn't put more fuel in. Wanted to charge $3500 to check mechanicals for us that we could check ourselves, if we'd been permitted.\r
