I see a thread called "Motorhome," but I don't want these questions to be buried on page 15 of that thread...
A reputable Houston RV dealer had a $100K Fleetwood on sale for $69,900 last summer and I hope a similar deal comes around in another 6 years (5 to FIRE and 1 more to work around the homestead and stay up late in front of the TV, seven days a week). It was on the Internet and advertised on TV for a while, so it didn't appear to be a bait and switch. Gas, automatic, all the amenities and it was brand new.
I thought I'd love to buy the motorhome, get a KOA membership, do 48 states and DC in a year, come home and hope to sell it for $40K to $50K.
Could some folks with experience in the RV universe answer a few questions?
1. Does the price sound to good to be true?
2. Is a year too long or too short (I don't intend to let moss grow on the tires)?
3. Is a KOA membership the way to go?
4. Kept in good shape, will it fetch 40 or 50 grand on the back end?
5. For those of you who've tried something like this, do you have any advice?
Thanks!
