What a great forum! Several quick and useful answers that are much appreciated.
Price range is a tough thing to specify. I am pretty sure that the bottom end would have to be around 50K from what I see online. I'd rather not go above 60-ish unless I was sure there was value there. By value I mean that down the line I would miss not having featureX or conditionY if I was just being stingy. Then there is the situation that it might be difficult to find a new owner for something that would be over 10 yrs old when I would go to sell it, so maybe I should stick to less than 5 yrs old.
On another note one of the online dealers is offering 30% off msrp on a new RV. Does that mean that the resale value in five years might take advantage of that and only drop another 10-20% instead of 40 or 50%? Just trying to have an exit strategy if needed. Of course the price even with the discount is out of my comfort range, but maybe it's a good deal?
A couple more posts appeared while I was writing. Yeah, sucker juice! I'm always wary of those kinds of 'fixes'. Good idea about looking for those having been kept under cover. And, I would never have thought the 'hood' part might leak most, so thanks for the heads up.
