Early 90's Class A --which brand best to buy?

We are looking for a decent motorhome to take a few 3-4 hour (one way) trips a few times a year in. We have been looking at early 90's class A which is about in our price range (under $9,000). We have seen advertised a lot of brands--Winnebago, Southwind, Pace Arrow, Bounder, Suncrest etc. I understand Suncrest's maker is out of business. So that made me think is there a better brand/model to buy where parts will be available? And someone said Bounder is the "upper end" of Fleetwood. So does anyone have info and advice for us?

    At that age, who made it is less important then who maintained it and how well.

    I have seen a one year old $250,000 rig that that had been trashed and was maybe worth $10,000

    I have also seen a Fleetwood that was 20 years old and looked like it had just left the factory.

    also might look at airstream mh. I had a 94 and it was a good riding coach. chevy chassie. easy to work on. it was used when we bought it and had it for 5 years, then bought a 2013 coachman. Airstream had better workmanship. now they no longer make them, but a good older coach. just watch out for any unit with roof leaks.lots of hidden damage there.

    You might want to look at used Dolphin or Tropi-cal's built by National RV and/or Allegro coaches built by Tiffin also Dutch & Country Stars built by Newmar.

    All built decent quality coaches in the 90's

    Good luck on your search....
