How many miles is to many for an early '90's B

to me 100k on anything is not good, seems auto things have a life span and at 100k things start to go. starter ,alt,, wheel bearings ,tranny etc. I

100K on a gas eng would concern me. My cutoff is 78 or 80K under 10 years old

I just looked in the auction section of our local paper theres a 1999 class A has 10,788 miles ..keep looking you find one.

I think 60,000 is about the max I would ever buy for a gasser.

OUr Xplorer Class B has 88,000 miles on it. I drive about 2-3 miles almost every day.
The refrigerator went out in October and we have used coolers for some weekend trips since then.
Replaced the 7 year old tires (6) and brakes in April. Then the computer died and we had to replace that. Now it is leaking oil and it is a blown seal and that is more $$$.

Have spent about $5,000 on it in 2013. But it is much cheaper than a new one since it is paid for and ours.

I would think twice now before I purchased one with as many miles on it as the one you are looking at.

I wouldn't worry a bit about it... just know some things will need replacement

mines a 92 van and a 93 coachman B run great and I go anywhere I please with it

about 90K miles on a chevy based 350 engine....I wouldn't hesitate to take it to Alaska and I live In Georgia

I have had several vehicles with way over 300K on them when I sold them still running fine

How many miles is too many is a function of how much tolerance you have for vehicle problems and breakdowns. My tolerance is very low. Others have an endless amount of patience. How about you?

I wouldn't be afraid of a Class B with over 100,000 miles. Just know you will need to do some repairs sooner rather than later. Very few people completely fix-up a vehicle before they sell it. Anything over 10 years old is going to need something.

A good idea IMO would be to set aside a repair budget of at least a couple thousand before you even start looking. For example: Van is a "deal" at $8,000. Ask yourself if you still want it for $10,000 or $11,000, knowing you'll be spending more money to get it up to snuff.

A favorite trick of used car dealers in my area in to put a brand new set of tires on a vehicle that has a suspension problem. Front end and alignment problems don't typically start eating tires (irregular wear) for at least 500 miles. So you're thinking, "Wow, new tires," then 6 months later, one of your new front tires is completely bald on one edge, because the underlying problem was never repaired in the first place.

Not trying to scare you ... just know that there will be issues, and as ernie1 writes, it all depends on your tolerance (and budget) in dealing with them.

We sold our 1996 Roadtrek Dodge Versatile in 2007 with 218756km (136722mi) on the clock when we moved to a fiver. The oil gauge sensor (x2) and the fuel pump filter were the most serious items that occurred during the eleven years - BUT maintenance is the KEY!!! You really need to get hold of the complete service and repair history, which should be available from any caring owner.

As qjane and others say, budget for additional expenses, they will occur!!

IMHO, it depends on use and maintenance. Are you mechanical and/or do you have a mechanic you can trust? That's the big factor. If you buy a high mileage unit, but stay local to work the bugs out, you should be OK. If you can get the oil pressure checked, do it as that will tell a lot about how well the engine has been maintained. As has been stated, budget for repairs. In many cases, these will be upgrade opportunities.
