Description

2001 NATIONAL RV DOLPHIN 5332 - 34' CLASS A, TWO SUPER SLIDES, FRESH ROOF

34 feet on the Ford F-53 chassis with the Triton V10, showing about 85,000 miles. Everything mechanical is in good working order. This coach has been driven and camped regularly, not parked and forgotten. It has spent its life as a weekend and seasonal coach out of the Twin Cities and lives in a secure storage lot between trips.

What separates it from most rigs its age is the maintenance record. The roof seams/edges were fully resealed with a brand new rubber membrane installed by Camping World in March 2026. That is a $3,000-plus job and it is the single biggest thing buyers worry about on an older Class A. All six tires were replaced in August 2025. Both slide-outs were professionally serviced in summer 2025. House and chassis batteries are new as of March 2025, the Onan generator was tuned up the same month, and the water pump, toilet, and bathroom skylight have all been replaced within the last eighteen months.

LAYOUT
Two full super slides make this coach live much larger than its 34 feet. The living room slide carries the hide-a-bed sofa and the dinette. The bedroom slide carries the walk-around queen and the entire double-wide closet, which means full walking clearance around the bed plus real hanging storage. That is unusual on a 2001 coach. Sleeps 4 to 6 between the queen and the sofa bed.
The interior has been updated well beyond stock. New living room couch in summer 2025, and an electric fireplace installed May 2026 where the original recliner sat, which freed up the swiveling passenger captain's chair to actually work as living room seating. Two smart flatscreen TVs replaced the original tube sets, front and bedroom.

STRAIGHT TALK ABOUT CONDITION
It is a 25-year-old coach and I am not going to pretend otherwise. The things I know about and have not gotten to:

Dash air conditioning blows cool but needs an R-134a recharge
Hydraulic leveling jacks occasionally stop mid-cycle. I believe it is a low-voltage cutoff during deployment rather than a hydraulic fault, and it deploys fine with the engine running
Entry door lock set works but should be replaced
A couple of storage compartment gas struts are tired

No soft spots, no water intrusion, no deferred roof or tire work. Records and receipts go with it.
National RV closed in 2008 but the DURAFRAME construction was well regarded and virtually everything on it (appliances, slides, jacks, generator) is standard RV aftermarket hardware that any shop can service.

This is my third "vintage" RV. Round 1 was a 1970s Winnebago Brave. Round 2 was a 1980s Pace Arrow 34 footer. Round 3 is this Dolphin. Hands down, this is the best deal you're going to find in a used RV - the worst offenders of buying an older RV have been addressed on this one....I'm not a duct tape mechanic, I've paid pros to do everything and I haven't let anything major go unaddressed.
