It's a 15 year old rig with 195,000 miles. No book has any idea what it is worth. On something like that, condition is really all that counts. 15 years ago, most RV manufacturers were still putting cassette tape decks in the entertainment centers and the 27 inch television weighed 100 pounds. Has this rig been updated with newer electronics? Do the seats look and feel like a 300 lb'er has driven nearly to the moon sitting on them. Is the carpet worn out, or has it been replaced. Has the engine been serviced, belts and hoses replaced, or does it cough like it has been smoking unfiltered cigarettes for the last 15 years? Is it on the first set of tires, the almost worn out second set or does it have new rubber? 15 years sitting in the sun could have turned the paint into chalk. I believe Bill Clinton said it best: "It's the condition, stupid!"
