Never had a motorhome before. Been shopping for about 5 months. Have a pretty good idea of what stuff sells for and what the various differences are. Also aware of the numerous watch outs for a used RV.
Looks like I can get a nice condition 2 or 3 slide gasser approx. 32` with 25 - 50,000 miles for about $32,000.
For $20,000 more I can get a 2 or maybe 3 slide 36 - 38'+ DP with 40 - 70,000 miles. either option is OK for us financially.
I expect to be towing a car or pick-up in either case. RV is for road tripping and visiting out of state family and friends. Not full timing. 2 of us plus occasionally 2 guests.
I would budget $2000 in 1st year expenses for the gasser and twice that for the diesel. Tires, if needed, would be extra. A shop that does service work for my business vehicles will do an inspection for $200.
I can park it at home. Any good reason to prefer one option over the other?
Thx for advice. This forum has been a great help.
