We did it! Braved a 12 hour round-trip journey to pick up our 2010 176 in Bakersfield CA. She needs a little cosmetic TLC, but is in fine working order (and the price was right!). I can't tell you how much this forum has already helped us--even before we made the transaction. I can't wait to share some before/after makeover photos of our little gem.   Heart

Welcome!  Are the cosmetic issues inside or outside?

Hi all..
Cosmetic issues are inside for the most part. I'm re-upholstering all the cushions as well as all the fabric-covered trim. New curtains, too (the sound of mini blinds makes my teeth hurt!). A few scratches and dings on the outside..missing a plastic (slider?) piece on the screen, etc. Perfectly imperfect stuff that's easy to re-do! Thanks for the welcome.

Welcome!  Hope you enjoy your new "toy"!!  And please share pics when you get a minute.
We are newbies, too.  Just got ours the end of March (172).  It hasn't been out of the driveway yet but that has given us a chance to play around with it.  I baked brownies in the convection oven on the weekend - YUM!!  Figured I try it out before I really needed it so I'd know how it worked.  So, have fun fixing 'er up.  And yes, there's LOTS of info to be found here.  It's helped us out, too!
Cheers!

Wow, all of the upholstery needs to be replaced?  

Take a look around the mod section, several of us have posted pics and info on converting to curtains.  I had custom "blackout" curtains made and attached them using the existing header boxes by putting spring-loaded curtain rods inside.
