I have purchased 3 vehicles on ebay .
One good experience .
Two marginal .
In each case I paid considerably less than was available in Oregon .
One ebay purchase was a 36 foot Beaver MH .
I flew to Austin TX to pick it up .
It turns out that the original owner had used this in dusty rough road conditions and I spent a fair amount over a couple of years repairing the coach .
Rear engine Pushers with the radiator in back clog the radiator .
The only remedy is to remove the radiator completely from the coach .
He had replaced the 4 visible tires but not the inside on the duals .
I blew an inside tire shortly after .
The good news is that we determined a 36 DP MH was not the proper RV for us and I lost less than if I had bought one new .
I would consider buying a simpler vehicle , like a truck on ebay .
Each of my purchases were not my primary vehicle .
