I bought the last one in Maine and live in NC.....Flew up and inspected it, drove it, had money transferred to his credit union, they gave me the title, I had borrowed a dealer tag to transport it, and drove it home....exact model here rougher than a cobb was $15,000 more. I looked at the local one to get an idea what it was like. It has been a good unit.....The one before that I got in Iowa. Same deal flew up and drove it back....Most of the time I find if I deal with the original owner they are pretty honest so I have been willing to take a chance always remembering that those airplanes will bring me home if I don't like what I find when I get there. Couple of things to remember----Buy the top of the line unit---those entry level ones are cheap for a reason and you never have to much motorhome....Also diesels are built on a much stronger foundation
