used Cruise America 19'

Hey all, I'm considering a 2011 Majestic 19' on a Ford E350. I believe it has a 5.4 in it. The thing that gives me pause is 160K miles. It appears nicely kept, but I have only walked around the outside. I have an appt tomorrow morning to check it out. The guy that owns it now bought it used from the crusie america fleet.

The coach systems, I'm not worried about. I'm up to speed on all that. I'm more concerned with any specifics to look at regarding the "truck" part of it.

Comments would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Drive trains on modern vehicles should reach and exceed 200,00 miles without significant problems.

    That's a lot of miles on a +-7 year old motor home (Ford E350) with a V-8. I would much prefer having the larger V-10 engine/transmission since all those miles work the drive train pretty hard. At this point it's all about condition, maintenance, and past use.

    Does it have an on board generator and/or rooftop AC ? Often the Cruise America rigs are a little light on what are considered normally standard conveniences.
