how in the heck to pick a used class A
We have a 1999 Fleetwood class A we bought from my son and used a few times, but it needs to go to motorhome heaven. We want to buy a nice used one and are stymied as to how to know what to choose. ...

Actually, we are returning the Fleetwood to my son after fixing the differential, replacing the sway bar, and replacing the radiator reservoir. He's going to fix it up further and give it to his sister,so its life isn't over yet.
I know nothing about the mechanics of the Fleetwood. I can tell you that it had only 60,000 miles on it and it seemed like it shouldn'st be this rattly after only those miles, although my son may have driven it harder than we would, and we don't know what kind of treatment it had before he bought it.
It did have leaks, also, and it is using some oil; more than DH thinks it should.
Otherwise, I love the amount of storage and the fact it has no slideouts; we didn't need additional room. The upholstery held up all right too. Kitchen is big enough for RV cooking. We didn't use the sofa as a bed or the dining area for a bed either, so I can't comment on that.
After we drive the 1200 miles in it to take it to my son,I'll know more about whether replacing the sway bar helped the rattling problem, and can post more later if you have specific questions.
