Does this used C look like a decent deal

Something to consider. This couple bought this RV new 8 months ago. If they financed it, then they are probably massively underwater. As I posted elsewhere recently, I'm convinced that one of the reasons why RV sellers are offering 15+ year terms on RV loans is not only does it make it so that more people can afford them, but it totally destroys the used RV market. No one can afford to sell them until they are 10+ years old, by which time nobody wants them as they are starting to fall apart if not stored well. So it becomes very hard to find a newer RV sold at a "reasonable" price because everyone needs to make the loan payoff amount, which is going to be way more than the actual value.

Unless you find the rare unit where the buyers paid cash in full or a large down payment and then decided to sell while the unit was pretty new, nobody can afford to sell their young financed RVs.

Here's the deal..
Seller's price is too high. He paid to much or is wishing for too much from you. I recently paid in December 58k OTD for a 2017 Thor 23u (foot longer than your model, with barrel chair, I recommend that extra foot btw, that chair gives u some move around options if stuck in rv on rainy day)with ford e450 chassis.

I was initially chasing your model. All day long that price was 48k new. New.Does Thor suffer from lack of quality? Some. I had a fun mover 39c 40 ft Thor diesel for 12 years, put on 92k miles.The house itself is generally solid. Minor stuff, yep, keep an eye on. I looked at winnebago and forest river, now what? Same thing. I saw slides incorrect install, not closing, things rattling loose and falling, squeaky on test drives (winnebago) and asked managers who service these units for warranty what they see most. My 23u is 25 ft 1 inch, yours is 24 ft. Handy size, and no slide weight, problems to keep you from enjoying. Really like convenience of corner bed at truck stops and the large cargo bay. Handy. Whatever you buy, get the upgraded anti sway bars. Worth it.

Fwiw I'm an older guy dirt biker, carry the bike on hitch rack in back often if not towing jeep. I've put 3700 miles on mine since December, including some really bad roads, both dirt and paved. Nature of what I do. Nothing has broke, come loose or cracked. Working as expected. Hope to have 12 years like the previous. Because there are so many examples of these models out as high mileage rentals (180k+) I feefeel reasonable sure mine will be ok.

Cruise America sells similar 4 year old units, but with V8s instead of a V10 and many have well over 100,000 miles, for around $30,000.This particular vehicle is worth considerably more than them, but not worth $49,000. It sounds like the original owner unfortunately (for him) paid way too much for it.

No I did look at it, the unit is in mint condition,,,its an older guy and woman, they bought it, took one trip to Alaska in August, she got sick,,,has a medical condition where they cant travel...

Based on the photos in the ad alone, I would be very leery about making an offer without physically looking at the unit first. Who ever took those photos would surely benefit from a photography class. Why is the lighting horrible in most of the photos? Was that just an accident or on purpose?

Consider a 24 foot, used, Lazy Daze. It will have the cab-over bed though. It will be on the Ford E450 chassis, having lots of OCCC. The roof and body panels are all aluminum, so no need to fret about delamination. They are more common on the west coast because the factory is in SoCal. But, there are rigs in the north east as well. Good luck with your search.

Older than you want, but a very well built model is the Chinook. The last model year built was 2006, but there are some for sale with very low mileage. They are in your price range. The 25 and 27 foot models have slide outs and hydraulic levelers. Nice, but very expensive to maintain.

Winnebago's are generally decent quality, Itasca and Fleetwood as sisters as well.

Forester models from Forest River and Jayco's will usually be given better reviews than Thor's as well.

And as was mentioned before the Phoenix Cruisers are seen as good units, and the BT Cruisers are pretty solid as well.

If you are looking for easy to drive as a primary item and no toad, I'd say start with the Phoenix Cruiser, BT Cruiser style units. Winne and its sisters build some of those as well. 2-4 year old units should be available at the $50k price range.

Winne units like the Fuse 23t which uses a Ford transit chassis and has a walkaround queen in a slide might be ideal for what you said you want, but I dont think you can find one around $50k

Happy motorin

Again, what would be a well made brand, in the 50k range used,,,but newer used,,for two people...no kids...maybe a dog...don't need or want bed above cab, rather have storage..no longer than 28ft don't want a toad...
