Help...Us buy our first motoerhome......

[Jana Ewart]

We looked at the same question -- for us we decided on an older (1989)
Bluebird just because of the quality of the build. For the difference
in price, we can fix it up to be really nice again. Right now Ernie
is replacing the nasty 20 year old carpet with hardwood floors. We
did have to replace tires and batteries, too. Do some shopping
around, look at lots of different brands and make a list of what your
requirements are in order of priority. What can you compromise on and
what do you have to have. All this is really personal and what works
for one doesn't work for another. Have fun with the shopping!
