I have borrowed a 02 monaco diplomat 40 footer and the friend that loaned it to me wants to sell it to me now for N A D A book value with a diesel generator with 50k miles and 250 hours on the generator what can I look forward to in terms of problems or things which may need attention right away has not leaked and a pressure test was done with no bubbles. I have driven it 500 miles parked it and no oil leaks beneath the generator, or engine there is some seepage around the driver side rear jack. If I purchase it I plan to scrape old caulk and caulk everything weekend after next. I have owned a truck camper and most recently a small class " C " this appears more involved than a truck camper. Thanks for any information or suggestions you can provide.
As always, it's all about the money.
You didn't say if low or high with the NADA pricing, but you can find below...low retail...all day long from private sellers, consignment sales and even full retail dealers. Anything you find before the sale, old tire dates, etc...,subtracts from low retail and be rest assured, you'll find enough issues for getting your attention, after the sale.
You're looking at around $26K for a 40ft with 3 slides, so figure from there.
Wanna be critical, even with not much money talking here, it's somewhat under-powered at 330HP and not sure if it has a side radiator or not. Again, not enough money involved for too many deal breakers....
