I am in my early 70s and in good health. we will be purchasing our first motor home this summer and expect to keep it about five years. what i would like to know considering we intend to sell it in 5 years, would it be better to buy a newer used one that is 1 or 2 years old or one 4 or 5 years old????.. we have rented motor homes in the past, but now would like to spend about 6 months a year on the road.
You are asking very good questions. But, one piece of information would help give you a better answer, are you looking for gas or diesel?
For instance, if you say diesel and $80,000 is your budget, buying a diesel would make it over 10 yrs. old. At that point, many things would need attention or replaced, like the TV's, etc.
