Assuming an RV has no mechanical issues (engine, tranny and brakes good), what do late model RVs have that older ones don't?
Are there "must have" features now? What about build quality? Are newer models built better now?
Better engines and transmissions?
Better appliances and sub systems (water, electrical,etc.)?
Thanks.
Doing your research is a good thing. Buying a 15-20 year old coach sounded good before you do any research. The first thing you give up past 10 years is bank financing. I have had older coaches and they tend to be money pits even more than newer coaches. Less storage smaller holding tanks not as good driveline. No slides, once you have slides you will not go back.
Where are you located and what are you looking for? Go to RV shows and look and sit in different coaches see what floor plan works for you and the wife. Now after you have looked at a bunch you will have a better idea of what you want.
What is your budget range? Are you going on extended trips or just occasional use?
