any leverage on 2003 georgie boy from dealer?
I'm looking at a 2003 Georgie Boy Landau 3402ds, 84,000 mi. on a workhorse, gas. $35,900 It's in very good shape. Just wondering if anyone knows how much they might come down from that price or ho...

What makes an RV "low quality"? They pretty much have all the same components (fridge, water heater, furnace, etc.).
Ours (not a GB) had several problems when we bought it, a 2002 Fleetwood w 63k miles, but that was the deal. I was able to fix most everything, and when the weather warms up I'll tackle a few more.
With 80k miles I hope it has new shocks! Our fronts had no dampening left, just boingers (and that was AFTER they were removed!). I don't have the leverage for the rears . . . . need warm weather!
Shortly after purchase the braided nylon portion of the high pressure fuel line had a pinhole leak (Ford F53 chassis) . . . . then the fridge quit working (control board) . . . . then something else, then something else. It was like every time we took it out we could count on something failing (all minor stuff). Lately it's been good.
My point is "stuff" (with all units) happens. Knowing how intimate the previous owner was with staying on top of maintenance is key. Buying from a dealer hides that, buying from an individual has it's own (very real) risks. I would recommend my selling dealer to anyone: He was very diligent pointing out things that weren't right. That selling dealer shared the cost of that $176 fuel line - he didn't have to do that.
These are TRUCK chassis'. I would hope they are good for more than a few hundred thousand miles!
