- big_cudaExplorerthank you for your much appreciated input
- Gale_HawkinsExplorerI would go with the one I liked best. Miles are equal on both.
The one showing interior wear you can bet has been lived in for longer periods of time. - oldmattbExplorerI would not consider the difference in miles a factor, that seems very close to me, and both reflect some reasonable use. Good would be evidence of regular use with no extended periods of sitting. Better would be that evidence AND full documentation of maintenance. Tires should be reflected in the price, they should not be more than seven years old - might reflect neglect in other areas.
The anti-freeze tank probably just succumbed to sun damage. I replaced one on a friend's coach, after I put my fingers through it.
Unlike the post above, (and all respect to the poster), I would not worry too much about appliances. They wear, they fail. They can be replaced with a stop at a RV center and a charge card. A fridge won't be cheap, but it won't be like a failed engine either.
When you begin enjoying your new coach, start a log. Document everything you do to it, oil change, tightened bolt,greased fitting, part numbers, phone numbers for sources, stuff you hear or find on the net. When you sell, the next newbie will think you are a god.
Matt B - big_cudaExplorerthanks for the info .
we are trying to decide which direction to go.
What should we look for in a diesel pusher.
The american eagle shows next to no wear on interior and exterior.But has 101k miles
The Diplomat has some wear with heavy wear on seats and sofa needs to be replaced. It has 88k miles Owner says the antifreeze holding tank was replaced do to erosion.
Is this something to be concerned about? - Passin_ThruExplorerI was going to say fit and finish. Tires, newer the better as they run into big bucks.
- Tom_BarbExplorerWhen it comes down to maintaining any motorhome it is more a matter of maintaining the appliances, very seldom do we actually repair the coach structure, simply because it is soooo expensive and the prices of old coaches allow them to be totaled quickly.
condition condition is every thing. buy the floor plan you like.
