Wife and I bought a 2002 Itasca 32V Sunrise with 9500 miles on it in April. Had the dealer fix several minor items (electrical element in the water heater, broken drawer, broken guide on bedroom door). Bought it knowing we needed to replace the tires (original) but we went into the deal knowing this so were able to get the dealer to price the coach accordingly. We had a class C (29' Jayco Greyhawk) prior so kinda knew what to look for. With the money we saved over buying a new/newer coach we were able to pay for the tires and put some money away for the inevitable repairs. I do love to tinker so have been able to do the small things (change the oil, winterize, wash/wax, etc.)that need to be done on any rig new or old. Since we also are on a budget, we didn't consider the DP's although we did look at used ones, we found that the price for used DP's is significantly (IMHO)higher than the used gassers. I am in the process of changing out belts and hoses (did all the fluids right after I purchased the coach) found that they are all in fairly good shape, as is the rig. We put 6000 miles on it this summer without any issues, so I'm feeling like we made the right decision. Anyway, welcome to the forum and happy trails.
