We bought our 2000 Coachmen V10 Ford F53 three years ago for $13K. We found it on Craigslist. The widow was selling it as she had no interest in using it w/o her hubby, nor did her children. We were lucky and everything worked great and all maintenance records were inside in a folder. We have done upgrades and minor repairs since. We did find there are a lot of people that think their rig is worth much more than it is. We looked at many other rigs until this one came along. Take your time, check everything over, try things out---don't impulse buy, there are many rigs for sale. Good luck in your hunting.
