The most important thing about used is it,s care. That trumps everything else! Our motorhome is a 2003 Fleetwood Bounder Diesel with 105,000 miles on it. it is stored inside when not on the road and is not exposed to salt or excess sun. Have we had trouble,yes but very little had anything to do with being a entry level diesel. Our most expensive repair was a new turbo. Little things like day-night shades a gasket on the slide, new slide motor ( didn't really need as the slide gasket kept getting caught.) We are now contemplating another Alaska trip and and the age and miles our not even a little concern! If for some reason we need a repair it's cost will pale when compared to the depreciation on a new unit. P.S. I have far more confidence in it making trouble free trip than a new unit.
