Used Class C's or New Ones

Don't overlook Fleetwood Class C's. Not the greatest or the worst. Used by rental companies, sold in great volume. Try to buy a 3-5 year old rig from a private party who needs to sell.Learn what to look for and get independant estimates for ANYTHING it needs. Learn as much as you can about lengths, floor plans, and features of various popular brands. We prefer lengths about 27 feet for rear bedroom/RV queen bed, adequate cabinet and cargo storage,and usability for days at local parks, airshows, hobby events, etc. Shorter is cramped with poor sleeping accomodations, etc., longer can have weight and balance issues and may not fit your driveway. All are expensive to buy and own over time.All will need new tires every 5 years and major items will need repairs/replacement probably when around ten years old based on our experience. Mechanical breakdown/warranty policies are full of loopholes and require you to have have everything inspected/serviced at maker's recommended schedules and keep complete records to make successful claims.Instead,save money in a "Pearl Harbor" bank account for inevitable repairs and replacements.
