Advice and experience with older DP Class A's
My wife and I are researching our first RV purchase. We are debating between Class A's and Class C's. After reading the other thread about this topic "Let's beat this horse again", I like the idea of buying an older DP that might be higher quality than new rigs. The downside seems to be updating to newer technology and updating the decor. We'd also like to have our kids families join us now and again, and the newer Type C's and smaller A's seem to be better suited for this.
Searching our local area, I see two interesting sales: a 1999 American Eagle 40 and 2001 Holiday Rambler 40ft. Both low miles and garage kept. Both say they have recent maintenance. Both selling for about book value.
* What are your thoughts about the quality of these? Is one manufacturer known to be better than the other?
* We want to primarily visit state/national parks and boon dock on both coasts. Are these too big? Practically speaking, what will the limitations be?
* Where do you store these when not using them? We'll likely travel for 4-6 months then return to home base.
Thanks!
