15,000 is even better: This rig has been out on the road!

Glad to know that is a good thing- I wasn’t sure at the time if it was too much or not- thanks! 🙌🏻

Try thinking of it like this:

Would a new car (or in this case: truck); be used-up at 15,000 miles?

If this Coach portion of the equation looks good, and has nothing busted: they must have been taking care of it!

My current RV was a rental before I bought it... One advantage - the amount of money they make on rentals directly ties to how little down time it has - so I found many of the issues seen by others here were already taken care of...

The dealer renting units knows the weaknesses - and to make the most $$ has to be proactive addressing them.


We still had some issues certainly - but 2 years and 15K miles is a 'young' RV - and hopefully 'debugged' already.


Taking the time to go over everything - and taking them up on their 'camp nearby' offer are both very good ideas.

gmc is right. They do maintain them very well and most have a pretty thorough "every time it rents" inspection process it goes through to make sure the previous renter didn't break anything and also to make sure everything works good for the next customer.
