The RV has 127k on it, the CRV has 135k on it. The CRV does not register miles when it is being towed, so it has more miles on axles and bearings, etc. The car drives like a new one. We absolutely love it. The cummins pushes the coach along with ease, unlike my old 454 gas coach that would struggle on even a 1% grade. I found this combination listed for $35, both pieces all set up to tow. The reason why he had a hard time selling it was because he would not split them up. The endeavor lists for $38k on nada, and the CRV lists for $11,500 on KBB. Plus thousands of dollars in towing and braking equipment. This gentleman and his wife lost their dog recently and the dog went everywhere with them in the RV. So the memory of their dog was painful every time they looked at the coach. I offered him $32k and he took it, reluctantly. Very nice people that took great care of their equipment. I love my new setup. If you're gonna pay $24k for a gasser, keep looking and you'll find the diesel you want. Much more of a pleasure to drive.
Hello, well really thanks for this advice. I watched gone with Wynns, and they also seem to favor diesel. They said when you run a generator or battery, you don't hear it in the back bedroom with a diesel but you will with a gasser.
But a lot of people own gassers. How are they managing?
Also, now I think I may be paying too much for this vehicle--even though at 24K asking, it is around the NADA (a bit high--NADA is saying around 20K low, but the seller may flat out refuse). You are making me think I'm going too fast, tho', should look to the auctions. Did you see that Camelot now for sale on crazyape.com? TO DIE FOR. Wow, 4 slides. Reserve not met, but I've never seen something so beautiful in my life. They're up to 40K, reserve still not met.
This is out of my range, but it does give one pause.
