My Minnie Winnie was 10 yrs. old when I bought it from a dealer. Made sure that I inspected it as if I were buying from a private party. Dealer said I was wasting my time and he proved to be correct, but I wanted to be sure. Before closing deal I made sure that 6 new tires was written in the deal. It is now 16 yrs. old and still looks new inside and out. I remove old sealant and replace with new every year along the roof edges and vents. Minor repairs that I did myself include replacing water heater thermostat and circuit board and replacing battery isolator. Oil is changed every 5000 miles. Major repair was slide out actuators failing and no replacements could be found. Repair facility rewired slide out to by-pass actuators and installed two switches - one for each motor. If you are handy and knowledgeable go ahead and purchase an older unit. Oh, took me almost 2 years to find one in the condition I wanted. Be patient.
