used "C": how old is too old?
All, Thinking (dreaming) of buying our first RV. Not looking at new models... they depreciate too quickly. I see 10-12 year old used models priced from $12- $20K and 4-6 yr old units priced from $3...

As long as there aren't leaks or other major problems, 8-10yr old is a nice sweet spot in terms of minimizing depreciation while still having a good amount of life left in the unit.
2-3yrs old: better than new but you are still losing value quickly.
By the time you get up to 15-20yrs, RV's really start looking dated and technology is outdated (especially class C because the van front end is easily recognizable)
Of course, prices are a continum with no hard and fast numbers or ages.
