Tell me if you think this is a wise purchase
I don't have much information, so I know that it may not be enough to go on.
We have been looking for rv's , mainly at 5th wheels, to full-time in. Our plans are to stay put most of the year in a long-term park and travel during vacations and summer. We wanted an rv that was less than 10 years old.
Someone at my husbands work has a rarely used, 20 year old, diesel pusher, class A motor home. I don't have any specifics on amenities, slides, etc, but, supposedly, it was owned by someone's father who passed away and had taken very good care of it and properly stored it when not in use.
The price is $15,000.
The thing I am worried about is the ten year rule, especially in a long-term park. We will take a picture of the vehicle and take it to the park before we purchase, if this is a good deal, and see if they would accept it. From what I have read, most rv parks don't enforce the 10 year rule unless the rv is showing its age - I still worry a bit about it, though.
I'll have more info on this unit, hopefully, later today. I just need to be armed with as much information as possible before I go look at it.
We've traveled in a bare bones class A before...a very old class A (1978)
What do you think about the price and age? My husband is an automotive instructor in a school with a diesel program and is quite handy, if that makes a difference.
