Isn't High Mileage Still a Problem on DP's
I have always heard that 100,000/+ miles is just breaking in a diesel MH. Lack of use, indicated by low mileage, is a bad thing. NADA doesn't even want you to include mileage in looking up values. ...

A lot has to do with the person buying and their experience level. I bought a hard to find crew cab FL 70 with high miles because it was fleet maintained and the engine was at a lower HP than most. Now that I'm trying to sell... most are afraid of the higher miles. I would take a 10 year old DP with 90K miles over one with only 20K assuming the low miles was because it sat a lot. Now if the 20K was used to tailgate close by most of the year, it could be a great find.
OP, yes most buyers will shy away from a high mileage RV because there are plenty with fewer miles for sale. Supply and demand trumps everything and there are plenty of mid mile DPs for sale... 5K/year.
You nailed my question. So why do we keep hearing about this "hardly broken in"? Sounds like its okay to buy them but don't try to sell?
