To buy or not to buy?

[Gregory OConnor]

At 25K there is no mistake to make if you trade out. 3 years ago they
were 25K and three years from now they will be 25k. The diff between a
30K deal and a 25K deal should be new tires and a full tank of bus
juice. The cost to maintain is realized by every make RV. More money
is spent working on Birds than Travcos because the total value of the
maintained item justify the expense.
One thing for sure is you will get an honest bias answer here. When
you get to the point where you ask BB owners if a BB purchase is a good
Idea, your mind is made up and you are looking for supporting replys.

Murphy, buy it as long as the repaint is classic and not fleetwoodish!!
Be sure to post a pic of the new bus!
