If you can afford the newer, you might want to go that way. A 2003 will soon need painting to look presentable otherwise you will occasionally be tripped up by the "10 year rule". There are a growing number of private parks that exclude RVs that look funky and use that rule to justify it. Don't fault them for being snobby, the real problem is how difficult it is to dispose of an old RV. People will get a junk running, rent a spot for one night and skedaddle leaving the park on the hook. It doesn't really matter how old your coach is if you arrive sporting fresh paint, decals and tires. If the rig looks great you'll never be asked it's age.
