Simple question?

Simple question??? Need model for starters.

I've found a 2003 Monaco that meets our criteria but we have only seen pictures. It's powered by a Cummins 400hp engine and has 125000 miles on it. Price is mid 60's without any negotiating. It's a 2 day drive to see it so I was just wondering if it would be worth the drive to see it. The 400hp is one of the attractions. What do you think?
Thanks.

125k for the cummins isn't an issue, but the rest of the chassis would bear close inspection. air ride, brakes, steering stuff, all could have issues. coach and appliance is a biggy too.

No way can I see myself spending $60,000+ for anything without a hands and eyes on inspection. Simple answer.

Edit: on rereading your question I think I misinterpreted. You did not ask if you should buy it sight unseen. My confusion and apology.

Two days drive from KS could very likely put the OP in hurricane alley. This could easily be a flood damaged. Or it could be a desert queen. Just not enough information.

My opinion.. go look

Fun road trip.

The Monaco I have had to have all the bushings in the rear suspension replaced right after I bought it.....problem didn't show up until I drove in the mountains. Pretty expensive.

Simple question, simple answer...'depends'. Depends on the model, size, tire age, appliances, genset usage interior layout etc.etc. Yeah! you'll have to go see it and, depending on the above, determine whether it's for you or not....given the info you've provided, no one can give you a definitive answer. Sometimes I think mine is under-powered.....Dennis

It would be cheaper to hire an inspector. Go to NRVIA and see if there's one listed in the area.

Hire an insector or book a flight and a cheap rental.if you want to spend less time. In the end the maybe 4/500 you spend if it’s interesting to you could save you a bundle, or confirm it’s just what you wanted I wouldn’t worry about the mileage but I would the wear and condition of the rest .. for that you need to look.
