Tips for Buying a Used RV

[longdog2]

I just ran across this article in one of the newsletters I get and thought it might be helpful to those of you who are looking for an RV. It has some good tips and links.

Good article. And I'll add - ask every question you have and make sure you get the answers. Then make sure those answers make sense. Do you realize almost every rv dealer will try to tell you low usage on a generator is good? Yep, they give bad info thinking you won't know better. So, unfortunately, you need to do a lot of homework in advance. Low mileage good, low usage on generator, bad, for example.

So, as a member of this forum, after you get answers, feel free to post and ask about them. I learned much the hard way (use generator as an example, because the low hours on mine have been nothing but an expense and headache).

Just a thought, Beth, as you generally bring up the hours on the generator thing. What would be too many hours on one?
