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. ...

Run from the F550 as many engine problems/fixes require taking the cab off the F550 which is kind of hard to do with the rv over the cab. I have a Freightliner M2/MB/Allison truck and it's a really sweet machine. Buy more RV than you think you need so you will keep it long enough that you do not have to worry about what it's worth in 15-20 years. Unlike used DP's, there are not that many used Super C. Their supply/demand is very different and the higher miles will not have as large a negative impact plus it's not on a F550.
Not that it applies 100%, but used CruiseAmerica Cs loose 10cents/mile in value based on the many units they have for sale... a few with 70K miles, but most with 130K.
Anyone that travels very much as seen the Cruise America RV's in places they should never be taken. On one recent trip we saw a Cruise America C taking the unpaved rocky/rough road through the Valley of the Gods near Mexican Hat, UT. This road is not suitable for a lot of toads, let alone a class C RV. I don't know if they made it the full 20 miles or bottomed out and got stuck.
I have seen others in places I would not take my coach.
