Gary....sorry, didn't think the earlier request for advice got posted.  I'm not in a hurry, or at least I'm trying not to be, so I will keep looking, and keep an eye on the one I've already seen as well.  When I checked NADA it said $11k to very best at $14.  And I had read somewhere in this...

Went to look at this model RV yesterday.  It was clean and well kept.  Drove well, but a bit top heavy because I'm new at driving these vehicles.  Tires are original tires and would have to be replaced despite what owner says.  11 years on a tire is not good.  Size is just right, seats very...

Thanks for the advice.  I already had printed out the check list, and I knew what to look for re the tire ages...but I couldn't find the code.  As y'all said the tires looked really good.  The owner is the second owner on this unit, which he bought from the original owner in late '08.  His last...

Hi, everyone....I've been researching like crazy, and today I'm going to see the first of several used RVs I've found.  This is a '99 ChateauSport.  I don't know if it's on the Chevy or the Ford Chassis.  The gentleman who has it sounds quite a bit older.  He only has 14,110 miles on it, and up...

Gary, thanks so much.  I'll take the checklist with me but I will study it first.  I remembered about the tires, but had forgotten exactly how to do that.  I'll probably go see this rig this next week.....Sue

Can anyone give me adivce about this model?  It's got 31,000 miles on it, and is owned by a couple who want a bigger RV, as they now have more grandkids to take along.  I haven't seen it yet, just email talk with the owner.  If it's worthwhile I'll go see it next week, as it's in another state. ...

Bob, thank you for the additional perspective on the possible purchase of a rental unit.  The company at which I was looking certainly didn't have a max on miles, as some of the units had over 100,000.  Thanks to you I now know, should I go that route, what to look for and what to ask.  In the...

Thanks, everyone, for the help re buying a rental unit.  I definitely will stay away from that possibility...I don't know enough to know what to look for.  I don't find many units for sale by individuals, though.  What about dealers?  Are they a good option?

Hi!  I just came across what looked like some very good deals on used RV's that started out as rentals.  I know lots of folks have had very good luck buying cars that were rentals first.  Does anyone know if the same would hold true on buying an RV that has been used as a rental?  Specifically...

Thanks for the info re driving.  I wasn't sure if I should exclude anything longer than 20' or not.  Do you know if there have been any really bad problems with any of the makes I've listed?  I guess having seen folks talk about the problems with the early Ford V-10 has made me wonder about...

Hello, y'all....I've been lurking around for about a week or less now, and have decided that this is the friendliest and best informed forum of any!  I don't yet own an RV, but I've traveled in a truck camper, a FW, and a B.  I'm looking for a B, or possibly a C, and have been watching eBay. ...
