Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

Thank you Mike, for the reply.

That is the exact one that I am asking about. We actually haven't even seen it yet. We were going to go tomorrow, but thought I would ask some advice before we do. If we think we like it enough, we will definitely hire someone certified to inspect it for us. Do you have any other advice? We do have a checklist of things to look for ourselves from a book I purchased. Wondering if that make, model and year has any kind of reputation in general?

I would also look at the age of the tires. Look at the sidewalls for cracks and check the date code on the tire.

Also like Mike said, look for water damage. Open the over head compartments and look for water stains. See if it smells moldy.

Good luck! Let us know what you find. The picture makes it look real nice.

Thank you Mike and Red for the suggestions. I am doing lots or research before we make a decision to buy.
