Sure it's a 2008 Coachmen 2130. Chevy 3500 chassis. 6L Vortec. 76K is higher than I wanted too but like I said the price, for us, was way under NADA and way, way, way under similar models (albeit with less miles) on dealer lots up here.
Since we know the history and that they were really good about maintenance, I'm OK with something with this many miles on "somone else's rig".
But like others have pointed out, the price might be moot for a lot of folks if financing options peter out over 60K miles.
I'll be candid and say I think that owning an RV is like owning a boat or a pool. It's a losing proposition. I think we just need to get comfortable with trying to minimize the loss. ;)
