I am no stranger to motor vehicles so I know about date codes on tires and engine, drive-train issues.

We are pretty set on a 22'-24' unit so I would like info on those, Class A's are out of the question for us. I'm retired, my wife is not so we have a budget to stick to and I think renting will take too much from our ability to purchase.
