Thoughts on this MH for our first?
Thanks to all in other threads of helping me and the wife out with regards to our choice of MH. After looking at floorplans, reading about build quality, etc. I think I've decided on the Newmar line ...

My first thought (since I am a native Floridian) was to wonder whether someone had pulled a flooded vehicle over to Ft. Walton Beach to sell. I would look very carefully for water damage (which might be that "loss other" referred to or it might be something else).
Unless you really like this particular vehicle, I'd keep looking. If you still want to keep this in the running, find a good local RV mechanic to go over it with a fine tooth comb. You may still want it (I just bought a class A with multiple problems because it had certain hard-to-find features I have to have) but at least you will know what you are getting into.
I've got some good help in Pensacola (my dad, former Marine pilot/engineer/gear head) who has been RVing for over 40 years. He might go over and check it out and get it to his mechanic for a good inspection.
I'm not averse to some small issues, especially for the price.
I'm very careful when driving, never going over 65mph, taking my time, and no plans to travel outside of FL for many years, and no plans of really traveling more than 4-5 hours away from home base for quite a while. I like the layout, floorplan, etc. and especially the price and new tires.
