Expert advice for Insane person?
I have been searching for advice on buying a used RV and most of the best links led to here! Hopefully an experienced RVer can help us with their experience. There is a 1974 Pace Arrow motorhome....

I bought a 1975 RV so I have some experience with this. The first thing I'll say is that buying an older RV and planning on taking an immediate long distance trip is most likely going to be a big problem.
The trick with these older RVs is that what appears to work great on any given day will suddenly need repair/replacing on another given day. You have to give the RV time to "settle in" and to express its needs. What you fix in the first month will only be the obvious issues. Other things will only show up as the RV is used more. If you're lucky, those things will be small problems. If you're not lucky, you will be sitting dead on the road somewhere.
