Just wanted to get an idea of what your thoughts are on the 1999 Itasca Sunflyer 36L and the 1999 Dutch Star M-3565-Spartan. My husband and I are looking to purchase a motorhome to travel the country for a year and have decided we should get an older diesel. We are looking at potentially purchasing one of these two. Here are the specs:
1999 Dutch Star M-3565-Spartan:
84500 miles
Diesel Pusher, 300 hp Cummins engine, 6 speed allison transmission, exhaust brake
Michelin X tires, Hydraulic leveling jacks
7000 watt diesel generator
Large Living room slide,
Plumbed for washer/dryer
2000 watt Inverter
Plumbed for air brakes on tow vehicle
New: water pump and thermostat, generator full service
1999 Itasca Sunflyer 36L:
54000 miles
Cummings ISB motor
Onan 7500 diesel generator (1,154 hours)
Hydraulic jacks
Fiberglass roof
New: tires, batteries
The Dutch Star is around $6K more. They are both in great condition cosmetically, but I like the layout of the Dutch Star a little more. My question is if there is a significant difference in these RVs that would warrant paying that much more for the Dutch Star based on the specs provided? Would appreciate any insight on these two motorhomes or any issues with the year and make I should be aware of prior to purchasing. Thanks!
