The Rialta was a true Class B motorhome on the Eurovan chassis--a really bad idea from the get-go. The drive train just isn't up to this kind of load. Sad to see one bashed and picked over like this though, and $3500 is ridiculous. This is a $500 junkyard vehicle. Maybe the seats are useable . . .

Parts Only? $3500 (WESTFIELD NJ 07090) Hi all. Seems an uncommon thing. Interior shot shows a real mess but maybe a good deal for right price? If ad accurate and true, drive it away? http://cnj.craigslist.org/rvd/3968380149.html Not mine, don't know seller, saw it posted over on thesamba.com Neil.
