What's this thing really worth?

I'm kinda looking for a motorhome, and been looking for good cheap Class C with a lot of RV for the dollar. 2004 Hurricane Class A with V10. RV has 17k miles and looks totally like new inside. Stored outside, so the exterior has some sun UV damage to the decals and paint. Tires are brand new but date coded 10/17. I found two small areas on roof where it has leaked in the past and has some rotted wood about 12"x24", but not currently leaking. Not too worried about the leak. I know this is a very low end coach, and I know the reputation of the Hurricane line. Just want to make an real offer based on value. Thanks in advance for any advice.

You haven't stated the asking price, or what you are willing to pay. What is the vehicle length? Does the vehicle have slides, jacks? What size generator? What other significant options that might interest you. (upgraded trailer hitch, wheels/tires, solar, AC, upgraded interior, satellite dish, etc.) You stated that this is a "low end" model. IMO, this vehicle is right at the age that will be needing MAJOR investments to keep it running reliably. Refrigerator, roof, tires, suspension, paint, fluids, filters, under hood/body soft parts, pumps, valves, wiring, cabinetry, appliances, batteries, plastic body parts, etc. If you are handy, have time/space/tools/aptitude/patience to work on it yourself, it could be a good deal. (I don't mean to be non empathetic to the current owners situation) But, if you are looking for a trouble free economical motor home, this probably isn't it. Without seeing it, I'm thinking well under $10,000.

I'm NOT being snarky here, only trying to be helpful, but, if you want to see what you're potentially in for, go to YouTube and search for "Shot's Life Grady White $10 Boat" (no affiliation)
