Very true. Lots of opinions out there on "I'd never buy a previous rental" but few owners, which I believe is why IAMICHABOD started this thread.
10 pages long and I don't recall reading any posts saying they were hosed and wished they hadn't bought one. I'm sure they're out there, but unhappy owners are out there with brand spanking new units as well.
You will generally find that most of the people who talk negatively about retired rental units have never owned one and therefore have no clue about what they speak of.
You will rarely hear someone say, 'I bought this ex-rental unit and really got screwed. I'll never do that again.....'
It is true that I started this thread to get to the real owners of Ex Rentals and hear their stories and not just hear from the ones that have never owned one and therefore have no clue about what they speak of.
So far I think there are about 26 or so on this thread that have had positive things to say about their ownership, and not one that said 'I bought this ex-rental unit and really got screwed. I'll never do that again.....'
I have also heard that number of 120,000 Ex Rentals sold but I have never seen it in print, so I don't know if it is true but with the amount of rental RVs out there they have to go somewhere when retired. I would really like to know that number. I bet it is huge.
