Rick, you are correct. Our budget is $100,000. Based on my research so far and a lot of feedback from others, if we move to a Motorhome I do plan to go with diesel. I currently tow with a F350 diesel so pretty convinced at this point I wouldn’t be satisfied with a gas Motorhome. Additionally most of the feedback I’ve gotten indicates the heavier unit will provide a much better driving experience.
Realize all of this is subjective but seems to make sense for us. That means looking at somewhat older models and finding one in good shape at a price we can afford is proving to be challenging but we’re not necessarily in a hurry.
My comments on the Foretravels came after following a link in one of the previous replies to my post. A dealer in TX had a few of those and yes they do look very nice but not in our price range.
Have found a 2013 Fleetwood that is great on the inside. Has a little damage on the outside body but the price they are asking reflects that. The damage is cosmetic and wouldn’t necessarily have to be fixed. Being a 2013, it does require the use of DEF so that’s another item that has to be consider. Interestingly enough I have a diesel truck and Jeep that both use DEF and so far no issues but time will tell.
Again, appreciate your feedback. The search continues.
