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!!
We are inside 6 months on our timeline to purchase a used DP and 12 months from hitting the road. As we close in on the model we want, I notice that lenders either do not loan on coaches over 10 years old or the rates/down payment is higher. We estimate that we will full-time for 3 years beginning in 2015. So, is it better to buy a 2009 or newer coach in order to broaden the future buyers market in 2018 or don't worry about it since a good quality/well maintained 10+ year old coach will draw buyers who will figure out how to pay?

it will depend on the selling market at that time........I would buy something newer I could put an extended warranty on that was transferable, that way you would be able to recoup more in the end and sell quicker because the warranty is there

As a military member (thank you for your service) we were able to finance 100% on a 97 DP through USAA. As long as the cost was within the blue book we were fine and they even adjusted the loan value up as we learned of additional features/add ons that were in the unit we we bought from a private seller. We already have a couple of buyers in line to purchase our unit (at or above the cost we paid) when we are ready to upgrade. If you find a good deal on a DP in good condition you should be able to turn it in 3- years or maybe our uniT is old enough it's not depreciating nearly as fast these days!
