Not much glitz or glitter but a well built coach, no chip board, real wood, clear finish that can be repaired easy.
Even if you felt that the furniture need to be up graded, the coach its self is near bulletproof.

Tires and batteries need a close look, of course.

When were thinking of buying again and having done all the research ahead of time, the problem at first, was with picking out a 1 1/2 bath model in a quality coach at the right price. Surprisingly though and once the decision was made to go ahead with a purchase, it only took a day or two to locate one in like new condition, withing a 100 miles of home.
Spartan side radiator chassis...etc...etc..
I say etc...etc...cuz once you see the side radiator, the quality throughout, goes without saying.
As for price, we paid well under what they're asking for the Newmar and that was two years ago. One can ask, but not receive and the asking price on ours was like $25K more than we settled on. Naturally cash sales with no trades usually get some attention and we then sold ours privately.

That's the smart method.

We actually found our in a park and sell lot.
Looked it all over, got the keys from the lot attendant, went inside, could not find even a scratch. Checked milage and saw it only had 6800 miles in 8 years, Had to call the owner, it was more coach than we were hunting for, but the price was right for a virtually new coach.
We've had it 9 years, We've had some maintenance issues, but they were mostly induced by ignorant owners :)
