If you are looking in MI only, I would suggest getting away from the area where large quantities of salt is used during the winter. It remains on the road and other areas year round contributing to early decay.
You might look at RVT.com for what you are interested in. Some locations even pay your way your come and look.
I have lived in Mich. all my life and have had RVs since 1969. I have never had my RVs in snow!! Salt is use a lot less than previously and it does not remain on the road all year
. Rain and snow wash the salt away regularly. There is no rust under my '95 Roadtrek or '03 Mountain Aire.
Thank you! X2
I lived in Wisconsin.
A. we don't drive our RV's in winter.
B. The salt does NOT remain on the road after the torrential downpours of spring it's gone. If it were not we would all be sporting white dusted windshields all summer long and we don't.
I just bought property in Florida for a winter base. That said.
I would buy a Midwest RV in a heart beat OVER any RV from the south.
What the damp swampy rainy weather, green mold and black mold, and blazing sun does to a MH down here is unbelievable. And the damage is done in a very short time if they are not driven each and every day.
I parked my MH for the winter months in Wisconsin and come summer it looked the same as the day I parked it come summer. I parked my MH down here for 3 months and the damage had already started.:(
It rains 'everyday' during the summer months like clockwork. And it's sheets of straight down down pour rain for long periods.
That creates the green mold all over the RV. If there is a pin hole in the MH anywhere the water WILL find it. Just the humidity alone creates mildew/mold inside the RV. Pine trees pollinate down here and if not wiped and clean daily it permeates the RV. Decals? forget about it they last maybe a year in the south. And more so on the side facing the afternoon killer sun. Tires? Rot in half the time sitting from the intense sun.
Nope, I see what it is doing to my poor beloved MH as I look out the window right now and I would definitely buy one from the Midwest area versus the South. Just saying.
