First off, great advice on this forum from serious members.
As a first time MH buyer I'm seriously looking at 1999 Nemar Dutchstar DP with around 41000 miles on it- Frieghtliner chassis and Allison transmission as a first choice.
Anybody have any comments on the brand (good or bad). I'm pretty sure that I will get an intial oil/filter change etc just to be sure it's done.
The alternatives in my price range that may come into play are a 99 32Ft Fleetwood Southwind and a 2000 35Ft Fleetwood Bounder, both with the Trition V10
Anthing to watch out for on any of these?
Looking to retire and be on the road as often as possible. Any other tips would be appreciated, for example I'm pretty sure my 2009 Sante Fe can't be towed but if you know different, please let me know.
Thanks
Chris
There's no comparison there - the Newmar is a far superior coach compared to any Fleetwood product. Second - there's no comparison between a diesel pusher and gasser - if you do a good amount of driving you'll want the diesel for sure!
I would take the two Fleetwoods out of consideration and spend a couple hundred dollars for a good RV mechanic to do an inspection on the Newmar before you buy it.
