I don't think I've seen this particular topic covered. We are new to RVing and we need to buy a less expensive (read old) RV. Because it is an older unit we expect that it will have virtualy no resale value. That being the case...
Would it be better to buy a slightly older less expensive and put some money into it (rebuild engine for example) or spend a little more for a newer model with less milage.
Also as this is my first post I will throw in another question (greedy aren't I) Is there anyplace that calculates cost of ownership for an RV. Perhaps I might be better off with a new(er) model after calculating resale value.
Thanks. I have enjoyed reading the posts here and am happy to now be a new member. Expect to retire and start RVing within the next 18 months.
