1993 National Sea Breeze questions

[noteven]

I’m helping someone do a little research on a 1993 Sea Breeze motorhome, GM454 engine / Workhorse chassis. 55,000 miles on it has been used for vacations and weekends and that’s what the buyer wants it for. Low annual miles. 

Any particular things that should be checked beyond normal RV stuff (leaks, haywire and bubble gum repairs, obvious lack of maintenance and repair etc?) Any parts that are now made out of unobtainium, that sort of thing. 

They are also looking at a couple low miles Winnebago Chieftains of the same era, one GM engine one Ford 460 chassis.

Experiences welcome 

Thanks

Only 2200 miles per year for 25 years? It has sat a lot so probably will need all rubber parts replaced like belts, vacuum lines, brake lines, water heater and radiator hoses and such as that. Tires for sure. Probably needs brake fluid flushed and replaced. I'd want a lab test of oil and transmission fluid. probably power steering fluid also needs to be changed and radiator flushed. Check brakes for proper operation and rust.

Kirk funny thing about our land - machines do not age for 6-7 months each year as we have a mini ice age. 

Cold dark storage is wonderful. 

So a 1993 is about “10”in west Canada years....

Um. In my experience frozen things tend to crack.
