2007 Georgetown XL

We are going to look at a 2007 Georgetown XL 378 this week-end? We are a bit dubious of looking at a coach that old but it looks to be in great shape. The dealer has put down all new floors, the interior looks very good and it only has 16,000 miles on it. Is there any particular thing we need to be looking for? Would appreciate all thoughts and comments. We're newbies looking for our first RV.
  • 1. Why new floors on that new a coach?
    2. Why new floors on a coach with only 16,000 miles on it?
    3. The mileage works out to about 2500 miles per year. If the inside is in great shape, then that means the coach was not lived in but left in storage and not used. My advice would be to have it inspected very very carefully.\\\..Dennis

  • Thank you for your suggestions. Definitely want to know why the floors were replaced. I have written down your comments to take with us when we see it. Told my husband that IF we like it and IF we should decide it's the coach for us we would need to have it independently inspected. Many thanks again for leading us on our adventure!
  • The 378's are very nice looking coaches. It looks like the low retail is $59334 and average retail is $71489. Bestpreowned rv's does change the flooring when they get a unit in. If you are satisfied with the unit and price you will be paying, go for it. Just make sure all the appliances work including the TV's.
    Happy hunting!

    PS: Independant inspection will be worth it.
  • The 2014's are out now so the unit you are looking at I would consider it 7 yrs. old. That may help in your negotiations. After our discussions this week, I think you are pretty wise in your selection criteria.
    Happy hunting,
