Looking at a 1998 Rexhall Aerbus 29XL
It's low mileage, 14k, looks to be in nice shape with a Ford drivetrain with Banks Power Pack. I've heard of the Banks system but really don't know anything about it. The dealer is asking 20k. Any opi...

We have a 1997 Rexhall 3250, single slide. When we purchased it in 2006 it had 18,000 miles on it. We changed all of the tires, fluids, filters, fuel pump, shocks, and spark plugs. On the pre-V10 F53 chassis, the fuel pump was a potential problem if the chassis was manufactured before a certain date (don't recall what the date was, but ours fell into the problematic category). Installed a Banks system on it.
Since then, we have driven it an additional 40,000 miles, including a 7,000 plus mile trip to Alaska and back in 2007. Never had a problem getting parts for it. We did replace the refrigerator with a residential unit 5 years ago as the Dometic failed and incorporated a slide-out pantry next to it. Also upgraded the TVs to flat screens. Overall, the Rexhall has been a very dependable motorhome for us and we plan to keep it for many more years.
The price does seem a little high. Somewhere around $15K seems like a more realistic figure.
Best regards,
