As usual when this topic comes up the same old tired cliches and innuendos come up with no facts to back them up.
I would suggest to the OP that they read the Buying a Rental Thread that was suggested before,it is a long read but there you will find 95 owners that own a Former Rental and their stories,none are unhappy with their decision.
As I have said before the argument against rentals is that the renters abuse the rentals. That infers that no private owner abuses their unit and that all private owners have maintained their unit correctly.
Rental units have to be maintained very well,otherwise they would not be profitable,they make no money when they are not on the road.
They are all refurbished before they are sold and come with a 1 yr./ 12000 mile power train warranty and 30 day on all appliances.
This is something you will not find from a private seller or any used RV Sales Lot.
Make an informed decision based on facts,not from old tired cliches and innuendos or stupid movies.
Everything I was going to say but I would also add that most of the people that are critical of ex rentals are doing so with no experience with them. "I saw" or "I heard" are not facts. I am positive that there are bad ex rental units and I am sure that there are bad used units sold privately or from RV lots. Would I buy another one? Tomorrow!!!!!! I have looked around at new and used and the ex rentals hands down were better!!!! Plus what I saved I could do a lot of repairs if I had to, so far I haven't had to.
