2005 National RV Tropical 351 35' 5" Class A Motorhome. Caterpillar C7 350HP Diesel Pusher Engine. 2 Slide Outs, Awning, Sleeps 6, 2 A/C Units.
Mechanic-Owned, Exceptionally Maintained, Ready for the Road
If you've been searching for a diesel pusher that has been cared for the right way, this 2005 National Tropical 351 deserves a serious look. Owned and maintained by a professional mechanic, this coach has spent most of its life stored indoors, has been waxed annually, and has received extensive preventative maintenance throughout its ownership. Non-smoker owned, no pets, and the interior remains exceptionally clean with no stains or odors.
Power comes from the desirable Caterpillar C7 diesel, professionally upgraded by Caterpillar from 300 HP to 350 HP at approximately 20,000 miles, including the correct factory 350 HP injectors. The engine has also received a complete Caterpillar overhead service and adjustment. Oil changes have been performed every 5,000 miles using full synthetic oil, and air filtration maintenance has been completed regularly.
This coach stands out because many of the major maintenance items that future owners often face have already been completed. Around 120,000 miles, significant preventative maintenance was performed including:
• New alternator
• Transmission service completed
• New fan hub assembly
• New pulleys and bearings
• New belts
• New radiator
• New radiator hoses
• Rear differential serviced at 100,000 miles
• Starter replaced
• Air compressor, condenser, and unloading valve replaced
• New AC compressor and condenser in lines at 120,000 miles
The generator has also been meticulously maintained with annual oil changes or every 100 hours of operation, along with routine air and fuel filter servicing.
Exterior upgrades and improvements include:
• Roof professionally resealed approximately 2 years ago
• New headlights
• New tail lights
• New driver-side windshield (approximately $2,000 replacement)
Inside, all major coach systems are functioning properly and have received thoughtful updates:
• Refrigerator operating properly
• Air conditioning systems operating properly
• Furnace operating properly
• House water pump replaced approximately 3 years ago
• Shower valve assembly replaced
• Rear slide motor replaced
• New antifreeze installed
• New porcelain toilet
• New hot water heater control assembly
This National Tropical offers the kind of ownership history buyers hope to find but rarely do. The combination of indoor storage, professional mechanical care, extensive service records, major cooling-system upgrades, and ongoing preventative maintenance makes this coach stand apart from many others on the market.
