With your budget I would look at DPs around 2003-2006. High end coaches, Newmar, Tiffin, Monaco, Beaver. All have high end coaches that will impress you even at that age. The key is to be able to do some of the regular maint. yourself. I'm still trying to learn myself. Good luck. Lots of nice coaches in Oregon, sound like you are on that side of the country.
thanks gemert, appreciate the suggestions. one question for you, if i can't/won't do the maint. on my own, does this change your recommendation at all?
we are in CA, so pretty close to Oregon.. :)
Not really. Labor on RVs is normally 120+ an hour. You can count on at least 400 for oil changes once a year. But if you get a gasser it's cheaper but 3 times as many to do. They will all cost you more than you expect. I would not trade my DP for a gasser even if cheaper. The ride of a high end, even 10 year old DP with tag is not even comparable to a gas coach.
