Re: What's the best bang for my 20k?
I'm back to ask for specific advice on some class A gassers. We pushed back our departure to March, so it afforded me some extra time. I am still holding to the same budget of 20k for the initial purchase, with a budget for repairs, if needed. I changed my mind away from a diesel pusher based on all of the feedback here. I have been looking for a late 90's Bounder, finding some nice 99's in 34' and the 27T. I just saw a 1999 Sunsport by Gulfstream 32ft class A (double slides) - $16900. It has a Triton V-10. I like that it has two slides (yes, I understand the trade-offs as they have been pointed out). I am wondering if anyone knows about this model. I have to assume with the price and two slides that it was not the best constructed, but I thought I would ask just in case it is. 35k miles. Any other advice on a class A gasser that is well built, and that we could comfortably live in for a year traveling around the west coast, parking for a couple of weeks at a time, then moving a couple hundred miles and doing it again...would be appreciated. Make, model, year so I can look up on CL and RV Trader. We will buy now and fix it up for a few months if we find a good deal. Thanks all.1.3KViews0likes0CommentsRe: What's the best bang for my 20k?
I found a 30' 1996 storm with low miles and inexpensive. I do not know if this is a good make and model. Any thoughts? I like the idea of being able to camp in National Parks due to the 30' length. http://seattle.craigslist.org/sno/rvs/4255460718.html403Views0likes0CommentsRe: What's the best bang for my 20k?
Thanks John&Joey, I have struck the DP option from my list and am now searching for a late 90's or early 2000's gasser. I was under the false impression that gas powered RV engines would not last longer that 50 to 70k, but it seems I was incorrect. I do believe the fuel economy is worse in a gas rig, but I am not planning to drive it all over the US, only staying two weeks in a place and moving 100-200 miles for another two week stay. We would love to boon dock on public land as well, so I am looking to keep the length reasonable. The nice thing is that the gasser option opens up the slide option, so I can get a shorter RV and still have more room. Thanks!258Views0likes0CommentsRe: What's the best bang for my 20k?
Thanks, Ohhwell. I appreciate the information. Why would a low mileage rig be a concern? I can think of a few reasons but would like to know for sure. I found a 98 Dolphin 35' with 31k mileage for 20k. It has a slide a looks nice in pictures. Thanks.202Views0likes0Comments
