For me, the older, high-end model is the better bet. But that's just me, YMMV. I accept that RV ownership means the windows will leak and the air conditioner will break on both RV's. So I prefer a higher-end, better appointed coach to work on.  |
What color is the Chevy Cavalier
Just playing as I follow better what is being said or meant by preowned preference. Simply put you get more bang for your buck.
When we rent, we get the big diesel pushers, they are too big for me to own though. I basically need a vacation after every trip we rent because I am literally scared to death while driving that thing. My wife will not drive those rentals short emergency, or if I had to get rid of too many beer cans out of fridge to reduce weight.
What I want to own has to be 30' 3" or shorter. We don't like B Class, way to small for us and we consider a waste of time, I have more room in Navigator. We carry tents if perfect camp situation / weather permits otherwise a hotel.
Right now the 27b is winning over the 29.3 . I have looked at other Mfgs and can find nothing that comes comparable equipped like the Thor short of paying $30 - $40k more. I do see lots of good deals on preowned 2017 & up 29.3 & 27b's, but I have been reluctant to buy out of fear that I may be buying someone's else headache? I think my plan is to shop meticulous and then when I find the perfect RV to then go EXTREME on PDI to make sure Day 1 is good. I will just have to be prepared for what breaks after that. i.e. some owner that complain may be buying a preowned or new RV from that didn't take the PDI serious or that the previous owner didn't take serious?
