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!!

Too good to be true?
Permalink Closed

Since I'm still just dreaming, I've made a hobby of browsing RV ads.  I encountered this one today.  Does this price seem really low to you? 

http://www.rvtrader.com/listing/2005-Newmar-Kountry-Star-39-117120255

I've seen motorcycle ads with really low prices and, invariably, it's a scam.  On the other hand, I bought a sports car at a really good price because a couple divorced and one of them just unloaded assets.

Or maybe this brand/model is just not so valuable?

What do you think?

 

Patti

Its been in a fire and needs new engine plus its a front engine motorhome not a pusher so most likely its a ford or chev gas engine
The way the ad reads is really goofy also.The ad make up is not the MH in the pictures

I would be very suspicious of this one. It's really difficult to get rid of the burnt smell from the interior.

We once got a couch that had been in a furniture showroom fire. It only had smoke damage. We had it professionally cleaned and for years you would get a little whiff of smoke smell from time to time when you sat on it.

Notice in one spot in the ad the mileage shows 9999 and in another spot it shows 29000.

If the photos are for the correct motorhome you can see where the smoke or flames have come through the various seams in the body and grill area around the engine compartment.

 Like I already posted, the description  is not for the MH that's pictured so therefore mileage is unknown. the description is for a diesel pusher, this is not a diesel pusher in the pictures

I have never been to purchase an RV nor did I own it, so I cannot tell you exactly regarding the cost, but I think you can visit this site , which was suggested by my friend. According to him, at this site one can get all the information regarding RV.
