Just wanted to introduce myself and say hello to all. I have been looking for a used motorhome for several weeks. I think I have narrowed it down to a 90's model class c. I have read what everyone has said in the forum on deciding between a class a or c, and think the c would be better suited. It will be my wife (1st baby due Aug. 3), probably my mom and dad, or her mom and dad, on most of the trips. I think the C has better sleeping arrangements for more adults. I have my eye on a 92 Rockwood 28 foot with the Ford 460 motor. It only has 52,000 miles with a Honda RV Generator. The owner is asking $10,500. The photos look like the interior is in great shape, and the body looks nice as well. I will be reading the documents in the library to make sure I know what I'm looking for when we go look at it. What does everyone think.....does this sound like a good starter RV?

Hi and welcome to our forum.
It's tough to pass judgement on the Rockwood deal without seeing and inspecting the motorhome. I'd definitely give it a good inspection using one or more of the checklists in our library as a guide. The mileage and age suggest that it's been used vs just sitting, which is a good thing, but not over-used. Of course, without knowing the owner, you can't be sure that it didn't rack up the miles in the first couple of years and sit unused after that.
