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 bought my Prevost conversion when it was 32 years old, but that was a project.
Still quality can't be beaten. I had to replace steel holding tanks and redo interior, but drivetrain was usable and I drove it 100 miles home before replacing 20+ years old tires and brake chambers.
Motorhomes have limited life as technology changes a lot and newer engine offer better HP and mpg. Finding mechanic who knows 2-cycle Detroit is getting difficult if you don't DIY, but in the mean time I bought 1965 Airstream trailer from my neighbor, so I know the original price.
I redid the floor and some fabric in the trailer, polish the aluminium exterior and after 2 years resold it for what was twice the 1965 price.
The water heater, electrical, sinks, shower were all original 1965 and working well.
Furnace and converter were replaced by neighbor so they might be only 30 years old.
Aluminium pedestal on the toilet corroded, so I put plastic toilet in it.
I bet the trailer will make somebody happy for few more decades.
