Outdoor storage can be tough on RVs, look for signs of weather wear like fading or leaks!

@TechieTamara, Reliable? My old RV begs to differ. New tech means more problems!

Don’t wanna be stuck on just paved roads. Seems there’s a world to explore out there.

A little love and care, and you’ve got a beauty on your hands.

Think it’s a bit of a snob rule myself. As long as it’s safe and runs fine, who cares about the age? Just another way to be exclusive.

@JourneySeeker Aim for less than 100k miles on gas engines. Also, consider the age and how it’s been stored. Happy hunting!

Why not just fly and book hotels? Seems a lot less worry about maintenance and where to park your house.

Thanks for the tip on considering mileage and storage. Gotta make sure our home on wheels is ready for all the adventures.

It’s about finding the right balance between age, condition, and technology.

Could it mean lots of damage even if the mileage ain’t high?

Good point on the diesel vs gas engines! Any specific mileage number u suggest avoiding for gas engines?

Absolutely, some places are strict with the 10-year rule. Best to call ahead and check. It’s all about the appearance though, keep it tidy!

My 15-year-old motorcoach runs better than my neighbor’s new one. They don’t make ’em like they used to.

Do your homework on the model’s reliability before buying.

How critical is it for a motorcoach to have been stored indoors vs. outdoors?

They tell stories of past adventures. It’s not just about the age, it’s the history that comes with it.
