Selling a Distressed Motorhome
So, I have a 1990 Overland motorhome that I am intending to put up for sale--but it has issues. My question is, how detailed do I need to get in an initial ad? Understand that I do not want to hide ...

Which is the reason those who can buy new do so. You just might end up with a RV not worth what you paid for it.
Yep, it's too bad that the new vehicles do not come with a list of things that will go wrong after you drive away from the dealer.
From my own experience, and from reading what others have posted on this forum, buying new does not guaranty that you will not have problems. This is usually followed up with weeks/months with the new coach at the dealer trying to get things repaired, or, if you are on the road, trying to find someone that can take care of warranty work.
Life is cr@p shoot and there are no guarantees when it comes to any vehicle as complicated as an RV.
No argument on that. The difference is as you said the warranty and possible lemon laws to go back at the manufacture with. The big difference is it gets repaired not on your dime ( usually). There is some recourse to a bad product vs someone trying to get rid of a heap of trouble on a buyer that doesn't know better and can't do a thing about it.
Someone here just got two new Thor motorhomes in one year due to a bad product. I doubt the OP plans on standing behind this 25 year old MH to whomever they sell it to.
