How old is too old on year model?
We are shopping and on a tight budget. We are looking at bunkhouse type travel trailers. We already know we will be buying used. I know Airstream's last for years,but that is not in my current budget....

Go to a large RV show; look at the used units. You will see two kinds of units. Newer used and older used that have been trashed and used units of various age that have been well taken care of. Our 2007, looks like new in and out; regularly washed and waxed; carpets cleaned, things repaired if need be, roof caulked and UV protected. We take our shoes off, don't smoke and have a tiny dog that doesn't shed. Others smoke, walk in with everything on their shoes, have stinky dogs on the furniture, don't maintain or fix anything and just get a new one every few years. My advice - BE PATIENT. There are youtube videos on how to spot a lemon, take someone with you that knows where to check. If something has been taken care of (the more you look, you will begin to spot them) I would not be afraid to buy. We have always bought used but have been very fussy and thorough when looking at them. When we have sold our units, we have had many say, this is the nicest unit we have seen. This is a great time to buy, just take your time, have your cash ready and check it out good.
