My dad just bought a 1992 Bounder 34 for $7000,--. It seems to be in real good shape. For around $ 10.000,-- I see quite a few A class motor homes from that era on offer. I am starting to wonder if I would like to own one.
I am also wondering though if, considering the price and the age of the rigs, they can be technically sound? I don't mind a scruffy interior, that can all be sorted, but if you are constantly replacing mayor components like engine, tranny, brakes, diff, suspension, etc, that will get old soon. These are pretty big rigs and when things fail, you have to bring it in to have it worked on.
What do you think? Is it possible to find a nineties A class motor home for 10-15K that, with the right maintenance, will last for another 10 years of moderate miles? What should I look for? Your help is greatly appreciated.
