Hello, I am going to be retiring this November, and we are going to purchase a used motorhome to do some traveling in. We live in Indiana, and our son and grandkids live in Oklahoma. We plan to take a few trips a year to see them, and also a few others to whereever might strike us. I'll be using some of my retirement funds to purchase our motorhome. I'd like to keep the purchase price at $20,000 or less, so that we'll have the funds for insurance and travel expenses. I'd appreciate any help/ opinions on what you think might be a good choice in a class a motorhome in that price range. I understand that it will be an older one for that price, but I'm not willing to get a loan to finance it. I want to just be able to pay for it without a loan on it. Thank you in advance for your help. David and Susan

David, We just got ours on feb of this year, with that said to tell you the truth if you don't have the funds a class A can be a money pit. I just bought 4 new tires for it before our first trip to FL, now I am dealing with a small water leak that I have no idea where is coming from I may have to take it to one of those places where they conduct a leak test, which may cost a $100.00 or more if I have them fix it the right way. Don't get me wrong we love our class A I would not do with out it. Ours is a 2005 and we paid $45,500 out the door ,its very clean, and 1 one owner. I wish you luck to you and Susan. Remember take your time I think I rushed into it too soon, and did NOT take my time shopping around. Because we fell in love the first time we laid eyes on it.

Good luck on your search.
