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

Boy, there's a lot of answers to your simple question. One consideration to
keep in mine an older Bluebird, Newell or Prevost in an affordable range
(whatever that means) will likely have no slides. For the same money you can
buy lots of coaches with slides. If slides are a show stopper for you; stop
here and get a coach with slides. It's unlikely you'll find a Bluebird, Newell
or Prevost with slides in the low cost range.

An older coach will have more things that go wrong with it. Period. If you
don't enjoy working on coaches don't buy an older coach. Also if you buy a
newer coach, remember that too will be old one day. You'll need that bigger
tool box then. A high end coach is built with better materials and may be
better suited for servicing. The higher end coaches have more thing that might
require service. Everything in a high end coach is built with the thought in
mind: "How can this be done the best possible way." I expect mid level coach
add the phrase to the end of that: "...keeping cost reasonable."

That's my perspective and I'm sticking to it.
