Newbie wants your input before buying used
Hello all, Been a lurker, but this is my first post. Never owned an RV...but have borrowed a truck/camper, and decided that we liked it enough to consider buying, but didn't like the separatio...

Telstar made a variety of models & floor plans that ranged in length from 23 feet to over 30 feet. They were made from 1986 to 1995. I personally would look for one with the newer Ford body and interior and dash design, but I don't believe there is a problem with the earlier design as long as it is in good condition. Under-body and mechanical corrosion is always a concern. If the rig has been stored indoors most of it's life, and avoiding winter salty streets, age would be much less of a concern.
My 2007 has never seen winter salt and is stored indoors when not in use. If it had the latest Ford chassis styling, it could pass as a one year old rig.
The later Telstar has a black-out glass cab-over front which most are used for an entertainment center. But I have seen on-line a few with a single bed up there. Maybe they were converted that way, maybe sold that way when new, I don't know. It would make a nice bed for a 3rd person.
About a year ago there was one for sale that Barbara Streisand owned. It was purple inside and had a pair of built-in early-day cell phones inside. It was quite the rig for a fan to own.
