My Purchase List..... take your shots !!!

Narrow your list......

All are good & bad One 2000 XYZ might be great the next******depending on maintenance.

First thing you should do is decide one the type RV suits your needs ie Motorhome, TT, Fifth wheel etc.

Then you can go to specifics........

What do you want folks to say. Every criteria you suggest is subjective.
In my mind Fords are all pieces of crap,because I have had bad luck with them in the past. There are millions of people that disagree with me are are equally revolted at my choice of Chrysler products.
Anything you buy is a******shoot. Sure some brands are generally known as having better quality than others,but even they can produce a clinker.
You need as was suggested several weeks ago to test drive a few different styles of MH's. Do not test drive a Prevost if you have a 20k budget.
At some point you need to quit looking for opinion and do some actual trying on to find what is going to suit you.

You are not by any chance the same guy from several months back looking for advice on a '78 Dodge Sportman are you.
He was another that was given billions of bytes of advice and got no where!

I find it hard to believe that any one on this forum would take shots at his posting . We are all fair and moderate in all things R V , never a discouraging word and the skies are not cloudy all day !

What I am looking for is the forums experience to step up and say
something like....

"Oh, the third one on your list? The XYZ hauler? Those are pieces
of crap. They started out great when the company was young, but
the build quality is of the worst in the industry...."

Something like that.

or... "Watch out for the frames on the early 90s XYZ, they rust out
in a particular spot."


maybe this info or experience doesn't exist?

Every RV on your list, is as good as the previous owner maintained it.

You can buy the highest priced, best built RV in the world, and, if you let it sit without routine maintenance, it will be a piece of junk, in a short period of time.

or

You can buy an entry level RV, maintain it well, and it will last a long time.

They all will have issues, here and there, doesn't matter who built it, or, how expensive it was.

You are looking at used units. Without seeing the units, no one here could say, which one may be better or worse than the others.

In general, pay close attention to the floor plan. You do NOT want a floor plan that you just can not live with!
For instance, our first Class A. It was a great little 27 foot, on a Dodge M400 Chassis (I love those 440 engines!). We bought it without even thinking of the way it was laid out. DW was working nights, and the bathroom was in the rear. When the bed was made, one had to crawl across the bed to get to the bathroom. While she slept during the day, I could not use the bathroom!
Don't be dumb like we were, THINK about such things!
Over the years, we have had Travel Trailers, Truck Campers, lived in a fifth wheel for nearly three years, lived in a couple of Class A's, and had a Class C.
We even lived in RVs through two Montana winters, one in the fifth wheel, and one in a 32 foot Suncrest Class A.
At the present time, we are quite happy with our 32 foot single slide Southwind on the Ford F53 V10 chassis. It is easy to drive, comfortable, and tows the Dodge or the PT Cruiser with ease.
It works for us.
IMO, if you choose to go with a towable of any kind you should probably have at least a 3/4 ton truck to tow it with. Yes, some TTs and even some fifth wheels CAN be towed with a 1/2 ton, but chances are you will get a larger trailer eventually, and you will then have to get a larger tow vehicle. Get the larger tow rig first thing, then you will be prepared for anything except the largest trailers!
Again, THINK and PLAN AHEAD!

Your request is way too broad. It is impossible to say anything about a used RV without knowing a lot more than what you post. Also price would be important. What you list may have some great traits or some very bad traits but without knowing what your needs and abilities are, it like asking how is up? Narrow down what you looking for as we cannot possibly advise you from what you posted. Don't feel bad, I see you are new here and probably don't understand this forum. Welcome!

PS posts like "crickets" won't endear you to those wanting to help you.

One thing to help, list the truck you plan to tow a TT with, with its specs.
that at least might pare down your list of TT's.

This is too big a list and the RV types are too diverse. With used RVs, you need to look at how they are maintained. I would search for each one of these in the forums to get more information.

I'm sure what you're looking for exists, but I doubt you'll get feedback on such a wide variety of RV's in a general RV forum. If you're serious about any of them I'd look for a manufacturer specific site. I still think you need to narrow down the choices based on your needs before looking at specific units.
