Also, don't buy one without at least one slide. Makes it much nicer to use and much easier to sell if you want to. The HR endeavor is about the best deal around. Very well built. Feels very solid driving it. The inside amenities are very nice too. Check the tire date codes(google it to find out how to read the numbers). If the tires are at all questionable either by age or wear, that is a negotiation tool. Tires are anywhere from $2500-3500 and they need to be replaced every 7 years. Hope you get it!
Glam, I've eliminated the 1999 HR Endeavor because it's gas. I'm now zeroing in on a 2001 HR Ambassador DP 34' with 2 slides (covered) and 80K miles. For one thing, it's local, and it's very nice--the 1999 HR Endeavor was less local--it was about one hour away. This is real near, and the seller is willing to give me a few driving lessons and winterize it for me if I buy it. It is in good condition (from the verbal description and the pictures) but I actually see it tomorrow. The tires on it are 1 1/2 years old, according to the seller.
I will not make an offer until I go to the RV show in Hershey and consult a lot of RV specialists and run through printed check-lists off the rv forums, etc--and of course, I'll pay to have it thoroughly checked out by a truck company and an RV company. Also, I want to test drive a really big rig at the show to make sure I can handle it psychologically (I think I can).
Thanks for all the advice. Gabriela
