Considering a well aged class A
Up front, is there any sense in buying a one or two decade old class A and expect it to reliably carry and operate long trips for another decade or two without it costing more to maintain than buying ...

In an older class A it all comes down to how well it was maintained. We bought our 1999 Mountain Aire gasser a little over 2 years ago. We have taken a couple of 3000 mile trips and will be taking an even longer trip next year after we do our usual 3000 mile trip this winter. The people we bought it from were vary particular about the maintenance on the MH. We have had very few issues with this MH. I replaced the ATS and converter and had one roof A/C replaced under the extended warrantee. The original owners had replaced the other one the year before they sold it. The interior was immaculate and the exterior was repainted in 2009.
I would expect that we could get another 10 or maybe 15 years out of this MH as long as we keep up with the maintenance and exercise some reasonable care. While this nice of an old MH might be rare, they are out there.
