We bought one but I would be careful. This is also our 4th RV. We bought one with 97,000 miles on it and now has over 140,000 and we still love it. The price you save reflects putting in a new motor and trans and front steering sometime in the future you just haven't spent the $$ it yet. Look at the wording on their 12 month warranty. It really says ?you?re on your own?. Their extended warranty is even worse. It is a motor with a lot of miles what do you want, use it till it gives out?
Ours is the model they are discontinuing due to the smaller size of the new replacements. Ours is the ?truck mounted" model, I think they call it the 24c model. If we wanted too we could unbolt it and transfer to a new truck if we choose. But not at over $50,000 for a new frame and chassis. I?ll go thru several used ones for that price. It took many times going to the lot to find one that their guys in Phoenix who refurbish actually did a good job on. They are so basic that any RV shop can or should be able to fix your problem when you do have one. And you won't be waiting for parts on special order or back order when you could be using it. Nor will you be jerked around because nobody can fix the latest technology. Mileage ? Your getting it cheap enough, just have the money to put in when something does break. Most miles are freeway miles; don't let that scare you. They keep the oil changed. If this is your first RV be very careful. Rule 1 don't fall in love with it. It is a piece of equipment to have fun with, not a new mortgage. This won't be your lets go to RVing? and then go to a park and hibernate inside our castle till your ready to go back home. Use the thing to have fun, see and do new stuff. Stop in where you bought in from time to time just to say hi. They can make calls for you when something needs done. Like some little part.
Have them throw in an awning and A/C. And Replace all batteries. You'll have to buy a jack, lug wrench, and get a cheater bar to get your torque on the lug nuts right. Don't depend on somebody else bring you out a tire in the middle of nowhere. And take those stainless flexible tube valve extenders and throw them away and put on the actual metal tube type, set you back about $100.00. If it has a window up front, go to their wash rack and squirt the front from clearance lights on down with about 10 min worth of water, then sip on a drink for 20 min. Then see if any water drops come out of any seems below. If it does pass it up. If you have any cops friends, see if you can get a drug dog to check for any drugs. Then; if it checks out put some miles on it enjoying yourselves not self destructing parked in the driveway. I've often thought about starting a blog of all the fun we have in ours. I can't tell you how many times people, especially women that see us and say they wished they would of done the same thing. But I think we just "lucked out" It gets pressure washed about once a year, used as spare bedroom, used as my lunch room at work, (prior to retirement). But the real joy is getting out by your self in the middle of no where. But it gets all fluids changed every year. Tires are all top of line Goodyear; replace brakes at about 40% worn. Our friends have more tied up in trailer than our whole unit. Now if I can just get more than 8.5 MPG. We've had more fun in that cheap old rental than we've had in 33 ft 5er or a 10 ft camper or any other RV we've owned. But be choosy and if this one doesn't check out, have the salesperson call you when they get new ones in. Tell your salesperson to call Phoenix and have them send a good one in. And have the $ 4-5 thousand to put in a new motor and trans to make you ?new? again.
Just my 2 cents and I speak from owning one.
