When is the RV show? The rv you're looking at may be gone by the time you want to buy it. Usually, if it's a good deal and a clean unit, it will sell fast. When I saw mine, I knew almost immediately that I wanted to buy it. I spent several hours looking it over and found no problems. The older man I bought it from had no problem running me through every single system on board. It was a lot of fun learning how everything works. Even funner driving it for the first time. I just remember thinking to myself "I can't belive I got this good of a deal on this" as I was driving away!
The Hershey show is Sept 10th-14th. I plan on being there Sept 10th and part of Sept 11th. The HR Ambassador DP 34' has an odd interior layout--I don't think it is going to sell that quickly. It has an odd color-scheme too. I generally try not to get too set on any one vehicle since I'm new to this and not sure I can handle it. I am in no rush.
I have decided to also go see the 1999 HR Endeavor 36' gasser (which has only 27K miles and is in very good condition--mint condition). But that RV is probably sold. I called the owner today and he said it may be sold. That's okay. There's a buyer very interested--so you're right about good ones flying off the shelf.
I've got plenty of time. I'm seeing lots of models I like on RV trader, the show brochure (of course, those are all brand new models) and some other sites that show used RVs. I will not buy a new one. The newer models are so nice that I am tempted to wait 2-3 years and try to pick up a used one (like a Dutch Star or Entegra). Man, those are beautiful! Way out of my range and purpose (which will be 2 or 3 short local trips a year).
I'll keep you posted. Gabriela
