Which one to choose?!
Hello everybody: My wife and I trying to buy a used class c with few years and some mileage on them since the new ones are out of our range. I have been reading a lot (A LOT!) about used RVs, chevy...

Just the mileage alone could be a deciding factor?
Maybe.
Do you like that one ?
Do they both appear to be well cared for....I mean REALLY well ??
But if you haven't any RV experience at all, you probably should RENT one for a long weekend first. The larger C's seem to be the most popular rentals.
Then.....tires are important.
I recently got a good deal on a 7 year old C and the tires looked really good. One threw a tread after 200 miles. A new set cost me near to $1000.
The radio doesn't work exactly right.
There was a bad battery solenoid.
I could go on but the point IS that you will be EXTREMELY lucky if you don't find a few things that need attention and $$$ after you get it.....regardless of which you pick and how well it's inspected.
You probably should allow a couple of grand over the first year for "little" stuff.
P.S. I like my Ford E450 well enough. It cost me about $350 to get the front end "fixed".
P.P.S. 8 MPG is about all you can reasonably expect to get.
