Found RV under 20k for family of 6?

[mkremer]

Found this RV and I'm wondering if it's a fair deal. NADA pegs it at 15k average retail. What year/mileage is reasonable for around 20k?

Thanks for the help!

It certainly looks clean and well kept.  The "no slide" drives the price down, making it a bargain if it is actually that nice.  Pay careful attention to tires and batteries, though. Replacing them can add a bunch of $$ in a hurry. Remember too that tires age as well as wear.

Went to see it today. Seems super clean and gently used. Mileage is 44k. I think I'm going to offer 15k out the door and see what he says. Fingers crossed!

Inspect, inspect, inspect, at that age there are a whole lot of rubber items that have likely aged  / dry rotted out including belts, hoses, and lots of bushings.  There are not just the obvious radiator hose, and fan belt, but also rubber brake lines, rubber fuel lines, hydraulic jack lines,  sway bar bushings, steering bushings, propane regulator diaphragm, don't forget to check the dates on the Propane and LPG detectors as they should be replaced every 5 to 7 years (manufacture dates are printed on the backs), and at $70 or so each they add up.  Same goes for tires, check those DOT date codes, not just the tread, if over about 7 years old replace, you don't want a blowout which can do many thousands of dollars worth of damage to an RV, or worse yet cause an accident.
