Have you bought a ten year old or older rv?
In reading the many post on this site I hear that an rv older than 10 years is preatty much done. Would like to hear of your experiances. Good or bad. Thanks

I'm happy with our '96 Safari. The reply about maintenance and initial quality hit the nail on the head. Safari was a high-end bus when they were in business (before Monaco) and the fit and finish even after 20 years is still good. The original owner took very good care of the Sahara (I have all the records).
IMO, the key to owning an older rig is the ability to do your own minor work. I farm out the engine Mx but fix all the little naggers that naturally happen on an old bus myself. If I had to pay some joker $120 an hour to fix the toilet spring, I could not afford to do this.
Also, the older buses had more character. I look around most parks and see nothing but "paper bag buses".
