Maybe i missed it but i dont think anyone mentioned age of tires on that coach.0---5 years ok---older not so good.Look under that engine an drive line for oil leaks---check leveling cylinders extended for possible rust.Check exhaust system for rusted muffler.Check roof by actually walking on it . .Remember you are buying a older rv.
Very good point. A good friend of my inherited a 2008 DP. Which needed new tires for it. He was shocked that the tires were going to cost him 5k. I told him to get it and use it and sell it as he will get his money back since he inherited it anyway.
I almost bought one, but I got scared with the maintenance cost. My suggestion is to have 5K ready to go for unexpected repairs or something. Otherwise you will put it on your CC and get stuck paying for it.
