I would . My 20 old high end unit is going to take a trip to Arizona this winter.

Not really. If the asking price is good, then you will just have a nice coach that is paid for with a lot of miles. I don't think we see enough high mileage coaches and it is nice to see that someone actually used it. Probably less issues than one of the same age with 100K or less on the clock...IMO. Big diesels are meant for driving.

My hunch is you will find someone took excellent care of that coach or it might not still be rolling. I envy anyone that used their coach that much as they must have many memories. Ours is a 2002 also with roughly a quarter of those miles.

A THOROUGH inspection by a qualified Diesel Tech would be in order. As you state, service records are very important, especially at this age.

Some history of the HOUSE components would also be very valuable. Remember, the house has bounced down the road for 200,000mi, too. If everything works and the inspection goes well, you can probably get a heck of a deal on such a coach.

You should have to worry about a rebuild until it hits at least 600,000 miles.
