I own a 2003 Damon Intruder 373 with the workhorse 8.1 GM. with only 18000 original miles. i have had it just under 5 years. overall it has been great. i only spent about $1200 on some minor service and a new battery. i only put 7000 miles on it so far. The layout is far superior than any other motorhome that cost $100k more. The bedroom is the biggest i have ever seen, rivals my house master bedroom, and the way it is tucked away back there behind the french door is very private and comfortable, and the panoramic view back there is beautiful The living area is also very big. The kitchen is a great size. i towed my mini cooper over 4000 miles hassle free to California and back to BC. twice and barely felt it on flat highway. my windshield also had some work but has been fine since i owned it. the living room slide is huge heavy and always worries me. the co*ckpit feels like a plane. this is a very big machine you really have to watch yourself in traffic. if your looking for a live in this would be your best bet the room is incredible. if your interested in buying one of these you will not be sorry i love mine it my second home.

The storage is unbeatable! It has lots of convenient interior storage and large pass-through outside storage. The hallway with large window is unique and adds light. The all enclosed bathroom is a plus! No seperate toilet....all in one room like a home bathroom. Nice glass door shower. Even lots of cabinets in the bathroom.There is a built in china cabinet with glass doors. Really enjoyed the vanity with lighted mirror!Very comfortable!

We loved this RV! Our family of 5, one child I a wheelchair were able to travel up and down the East coast and drive to Colorado form DC. Plenty of space for young boys to have their own privacy while driving and sleeping. Strong enough to tow our SUV and carry all our stuff. Highly Recommend!

We dreamed of touring North America in a RV at retirement. Well, we can say "mission accomplished". This RV is amazing and we enjoyed driving it every time. It is in very conditions; a reliable vehicle with a lot of spaces and comfort ability to fit 6 people. Everything that is needed is included in this RV, and more. It will not disappoint you. We love the floor plan and build quality, more than enough engine power to tow anywhere. What a nice trip and memorable adventure we had, but sadly due to health conditions, now it’s time for us to turn the page and do something else. We would definitely recommend buying this model.

We bought this RV to see if it would fit our traveling adventures. Learning curve definitely, as I found out how easy it was to do a U-Turn on a one way dirt road. Ended up being simple, as this coach has a tight radius.Cooking is easy with the stove, and oven. Though, in hot climates, you should have an outside kitchen setup. Hot inside when cooking.We added a leaf spring on the right side of the coach after our first year. Because, as most coaches lean to the right, due to manufacturers loading the weight primarily on the right. This made the next 6 summers of driving much easier.2 a/c units work wonderfully, and keep temp comfortable all day and night. Swapped mattress to a 10” foam, and love it. The bedroom storage is ample to live in this coach full time. Living room/kitchen storage is also quite adequate. We packed a full set of ‘kitchen’ inside.Outside storage is crazy good, I have a hard time using all the space, and typically have extra room underneath.I wish the gas tank was bigger, 75 gl, but I got used to stopping for a break on long trips.The fresh/gray/black tanks are easily managed. I wish the fresh/gray were bigger, but they are pretty standard. 80/40/40We have travelled over 30 states, and 35,000 miles in our care.This is a great coach, and has been taken care of . Now, it’s your turn to continue the story

I've owned this RV since 2010 and bought it with 10,000 miles. I'm the second owner. Very low miles(22k)on a very reliable Chevy Workhorse. The current price is a tremendous value - tons of life left in the RV and huge potential to create great new experiences for a new owner! Roof is in great condition. Some of the decals on the exterior are starting to fade and peel, but the exterior is is great overall condition. One small scrape on front bumper, but no dents. We used the RV to camp with our two daughters locally in the Black Hills of South Dakota. The kids are grown and we've updgraded to a diesel. The interior is clean and in super condition (no rips/tears). The TV is dated, but we simpy used laptop and portable LCD to stream instead. This RV is perfect for the budget buyer or a relatively inexpensie entry to the RV life!

My wife and I lived in the RV full-time for my last two years in the Army. For two people, it is plenty of space, particularly with the included 21'x8' screen room attachment that goes under the large awning. Also, living at an RV Park you have the outside activities that help add to the enjoyment of RV living. We never went "boondocking", but the Onan 550 generator would provide sufficient power for all necessary appliances and HVAC.The RV gives a smooth ride, similar to a car, including at highway speeds 75 mph , even with a trailer. Just don't forget to take your turns, w-i-d-e!Overall, this RV served it's purpose for us. We're now retired and plan to spend the next couple years building a business, so RV travel is on hold for a while. If you're familiar with RV's, campers, etc., you know not to leave them idle for too long otherwise the gremlins move in... This is why we're selling. I hope you come by to see it and if you decide to purchase it, that you enjoy it for a very long time.

This RV is very easy to drive, even towing a Jeep behind us. The powerful Ford V-10 engine makes is feel like you're not even towing anything. It is easy to set up at the campsite and quite comfortable to live in. The queen bed is even more comfortable than our bed at home.Very easy to maintain 65-70 mph.

For 2 people there's more than enough room to live comfortably and the storage both inside and out is ample. The factory furniture is comfortable and functional.The overall quality of the interior is lacking for it's price point. However, the exterior, motor and F53 chassis perform as well as you could hope. Since the interior is easily up-gradable it's not bad overall.The floor plan is fantastic and well thought out. The living area is set up to be able to interact with others. You're not on a couch looking over a table

This is a great RV for family trips or for just a couple enjoying the open road. It's roomy and decorated very classy and is well maintained. Best of all the mileage is under 9000!!! We've had great times in this rig, however with work schedules we can't seem to find the time to utilize it as much as we thought. With the low miles, under 200 hours on the generator and an extended warranty this RV will provide years of enjoyment to come.
