Default Look to buy soon!

DW and I will be in the market for a class B. Will we be able to find a good and reliable 1999 to 2000 or so in the $20,000.00 range.

What would be an acceptable number of miles?

Any advice would be welcome.

Thanks

Yes, and you might consider explaining "will be" in terms of time.

If "will be buying" is soon this one Sarasota, FL. looks decent and only 84k miles on it:

In 2010 I bought a 1998 Roadtrek 190 (see photo) with 94,000 miles for $20,000. In excellent condition. Over the years I have replaced tires and transmission. Great class B. I also, at the time, paid a 10% finders fee as I knew nothing about motor homes or where to look. I live in N. CA and the finder located this RT in Oregon and traveled up there and had it checked out mechanically. The $2,000 finders fee was well worth it.

Don't be in a rush and look at as many as you can locate and get an idea as to how they shape up at $20,000. Since I got mine almost 10 years ago for $20,000 I would think you should find an oldy for that money in very good condition. Mileage preferred is very subjective as there are many variables. Road test a few and get a feel for what $20,000 will get.

Good luck, Bob
