hi guys -

i am looking at a 2004 haulmark 323DCS single axle.

it has the usual onan generator (10 kw) and has a little over 5,000 hrs on it - is that excessive? (there are over 60,000 miles on it)

this would be our first haulmark - are there any problem areas to look out for? it has the 450 hp with freedom transmission.

the seller has identified a freightliner dealer close to him and i think i would want to take it there for a "pre-purchase" inspection. i assume they would put a computer on it - but what else would you suggest?

also i have a more practical concern - the rear overhang (from the axle back to the rear bumper) seems really long and low. do any of you have a similar model and do you have to watch out for it bottoming out?

thanks for any help and/or suggestions you can give me.
