The Folks who buy high mileage ex-rentals, are usually pretty sure, them will run 300K without much problem.
Those of us who bought newer are usually not so sure about that.

I think one thing to consider is, how long do you intend to keep the RV. I for instance will keep our's for at least 20 years and maybe more. I estimate we will put 150K on it. So I did not want to start with one that already had 150K.
But at 5K per year, ex-rental with 100K on it, in ten years still only up to 150K ( not all that much), So I think each person's expectations, plans and use patterns are different, and that should influence their choice ( as to if they buy a higher mileage ex-rental, or a newer lower mileage unit), in my opinion anyway
