338RLK Experience
We purchased a preowned 338RLK in January of 2019. It looked brand new and had some adders like slideout awnings, 2nd AC unit in master, king bed, washer/dryer combo installed. The grill was updated per the recall as well. We found a few issues which I will address below. The price we paid was right at 40K and was fair with all the upgrades. To address your concerns:
1. There is a recall on the grill that was for the 2018. I would assume they upgraded it for the 2019
2. Our satisfaction is beyond great. We love the layout with plenty of room and all the features we need for a couples coach. Also, we have had guests with the fold out couch. It is OK, but is a bit uncomfortable as a bed.
3. With 30 Amps, if you have two ACs, you won't be able to run both. When you run the microwave and AC you may also have a problem. Worst case, you will just have to reset the external breaker where you plug into.
4. Cougars have been out and around for years. I think they have a very good reputation. Just walk through the unit and test everything prior to accepting to make sure everything works as it should.
Some of the items that I had to deal with on our unit are as follows:
1. Two small water leaks in plumbing - easy fixes
2. Electric element on hot water heater burnt out. Easy fix.
3. Slight smell in propane tank 2. Still have not fixed, but also easy to fix.
4. Hard pulls on holding tanks.... still an issue but not a problem.
5. Mattress not as nice as we would have liked. Topped it with 3 inch foam topper and now great.
Last thought. Pricing is always interesting. Search the internet and find who will give what kind of pricing. Go in with that price point to start your negotiation. Don't be afraid to walk away and come back the next day to see if they changed their mind. End of month or end of quarter purchases are best since they need to increase sales numbers at the end of the month.
