My First RV Concerns

I'm really close to purchasing this rv rv. I'm driving cross country for 2.5 weeks with wife and 3 young kids. I've driven large semi trucks, and towed 20' trailers, so the driving doesn't bother me. Just looking for any concerns I might be missing. Gentleman said he bought it new, it was the last 2015 left in 2016. He paid 65877 for it new + 4k for extended warranty. Not sure, do I depreciate it 1 or 2 years, since he's only owned it less than a year?!?! Any other concerns? I've checked all campsites, it will fit in any place we are staying.

Thanks as always, you guys always rock!

    Have a blast!

    I camped for 30 years with out either of those things.
    well used camp grounds are safe as to power, and water pressure, others have already tested them.

    tire pressure monitoring system on a unknown new coach, I'd go for that.

    Low retail on that coach is 52,000. He is a PP looking for more than low retail. Might want to throw a better number at him, but, the best price is what you are happy and comfortable paying.
    Good luck

    Ha, that's exactly the number I had in mind :) 52 plus the 3k for the extended warranty so 55 for both I thought was a fair number :)


    Sounds like a great plan! Hope you get it.
    Safe travels to you

    Also, that coach is 30' long. Hope you checked that length when you scouted your camp sites.
