IAMICHABOD, I am about halfway through that thread and it is convincing me that buying a rental is the only way to go for me. I wish there was someone who could go through the inspection with me as I am a novice (haven't owned a motorhome in 10 years and my ex did most of the operating of the different systems, etc.).
I will have to fly out to one of the dealerships as I currently live in WI, but my plan is to hang around the area for a couple weeks to make sure everything is operating as it should.
TY so much for steering me in this direction---there's no way I could afford what I want unless I get a rental. How many miles can I expect to get from say a Ford 350? I plan on fulltiming in the rig for at least a year, so will be putting quite a few miles on it.
Pick a city that you are going to buy at and call an RV mechanic and ask them to inspect it for you. May cost some money but an independent person may save you some money. Post on here and see if anyone will recommend a tech in that area.
