So new tires, new batteries and full mfg. warranty plus appliance warranties would need to be part of deal in writing and pricing would have to be 'out the door happy dance' range....

It goes without saying that since it's never been titled you will get full warranty on everything, just like buying anything else new despite it's year. You don't even have to ask for that, it's new. However, there is no way you will get them to put new tires on it. Try if you want, but they'll decline, I am certain. And they should, it's a ridiculous request.....

Me thinks, 'Old-Biscuit' is thinking about towable RVs, not Motorhomes. If this was a towable RV (TT or 5er) with ST tires on it that had already sat for 2 years, then I can definitely see asking for new tires. ST tires only have a 4-5 year life, and with 2 years already gone, I'd ask for new tires in that case, too.

However, we're talking about a Motorhome here, not a TT or 5er. Motorhome tires cost much, MUCH more than ST tires that go on a trailer, and last much longer. Also, since its a Motorhome, the tires have most likely NOT sat still for last 2 years. The MH has probably been on several test drives, to various RV shows, driven around the RV lot, etc.

That being the case, Effy is right - Asking for new tires is not necessary, and a ridiculous request that will be quickly declined.

As long as its what you want, and you do a good, thorough inspection and find everything working as it should....I'd have no problem buying a unit like this. I actually prefer buying one like that, as you get all the benefits of a new unit, without paying quite as high a price for it. A 2 year old unit, even though still technically new, should be discounted significantly!
