Good morning everyone.
Went to the AC RV show this weekend. Saw some very nice new models and was able to get a good feel of the different sizes. Since I am looking for a used MH I looked at prices to gauge what a used model would cost. It is correct most of the sprinter models have a low carrying capacity.
At the moment I am focusing on 3 models 24'-26' range. Phoenix Cruiser, Gulf Stream BT Cruiser, both Class C and the Class A Thor Axis/Vegas 24.1. This is the model I rented when they came out in 2014. That would be the biggest at 26'. I've seen some already for under 50k.
The Phoenix and BT cruisers I've seen on RVTrader and rv.net can be as old as 2002-2003. So how old is too old? Some have high mileage some low. These are Fords E-350 or 450, not sprinters. I am looking to buy in the fall so I have time for more to come on the market. Since it was asked by another post, I do not plan to tow a car, I'll use Uber, Lyft, rentals, shuttles and such.
