This particular motorhome might not had been the right fit for you, but I wouldn't count out older MH's in the future. We have a 94 Monaco Dynasty, but we spent over $300 before we even signed a paper having it looked at by a diesel mechanic, a rv repair guy, an a/c guy, and the like. We think we found a diamond in the rough as far as the care that was given to this vehicle, however, we have had some costly repairs just because of the age of the coach. So, if you will head the previous (and my) posters warning and go in with eyes wide open, you can find something that you like, affordable, and in good condition. I would say your chances in this market are better than not.
