Bill, from our 2008 to the 2009 there was a paint design change but they are virtually the same. Ours was built early in 2007 before 'big event' started to happen.
I would think that you would get around 7 mpg average.
How many hours on the genny?
Have you checked the tire date codes?
Batteries new?
Does it have both air and hydraulic leveling?
Does it have the duel stage Aqua Hot (hi and low electric elements)?
With 76,000 miles on it, I would think the engine should be healthy but you could get an engine oil analysis just to be sure. Hopefully the owner has maintenance records.
Like most people say, I would have one with a few miles on it vs. one that has sat and not used.
I would also check the roof to see how the caulking looks. I had to caulk ours at about 4 yrs. old which was not hard to do.
In the front bay under the drivers seat are the chassis fuses. The turning signal indicator module is located there. When driving down the road it vibrates coming loose. I have to keep a rubber band around it to keep it in the socket. Check the gaskets around all of the compartments, I had to add a piece of rubber to that front one as water leaked in and caused the air horns to go off. There are holes in the bottom of that plastic bay that needed to be enlarged which I did with a pair of scissors carving the holes a little larger.
I replaced one gasket around a bay door as it failed (no big deal) and just popped on a new one. As long as the little things are taken care of along the way, the list stays short.
Good luck, you will love the Dynasty.
MM.
