Considering 2000 Georgetown 346S vs 2003 Damon Challenger

[Vt_Rv]

I've found two units I'm considering.

First is a 2003 Damon Challenger. One owner although the male died 4 years ago and it's been setting since. Needs tires, house batteries and a good cleaning. It has a workhorse chassis and seems to run and drive very nice. We really like the layout although when we went to look the son-in-law who showed it to us couldn't figure out how to work the slides, generator or anything else for that matter.

Second is a 2000 Georgetown. One owner who is now 93, Always been maintained and kept under cover when not being used. Also needs tires but is very clean. Spotless under carriage. This one has the Ford V10. Drives nice but didn't seem to have the power or feel of the Damon. It's very nice but don't like the floor plan quite as well.

Both units priced in the low 20's and I'm confident I could get the Georgetown for 18-19 and the Damon for 20+-.

Any thoughts? I have a RV Tech who is willing to go through the Damon with me if we get that far. I think either would work to get us into a class A without breaking the bank or loosing too much equity if we don't like having a class A.

Thank you all for the input. I will be meeting with an RV Tech this afternoon to go over the Damon. Want to make sure everything is in good working order and get an "expert" opinion.

We have an '02 GT325, which we bought from the original owners. It's what I would consider slightly better than the median. I'd certainly consider another Georgetown if we decided to move up to a bigger rig.

Unfortunately, since we're on a limited budget, it's becoming more and more difficult to be able to use the MH. When we got our first MH, gas was $1.75 and CG fees were around $20. Now gas is approaching $4 and it's tough to find CG's for leass than $35.

We have a big family "do" in August when we'll probably need it for additional living accomodations in the driveway. It will probably go on the market after the Labor Day weekend.

You're about as far away from us as it possible to get, but if our schedule works for you, feel free to send me a PM for more info.

Our 03 Challenger has been very solid for us. If I were in the market for another MH I'd consider another.

We have a 2003 Georgetown 346DS with the two slides and like it very much. We bought it new and it has been a great unit for us. We really like the layout. Ours is on the Ford chassis and we tow a Pontiac G-6 with no problems. Ours has the 310 HP version of the V-10 I think and 03 was the first year it was available????.
