nana25k Posted April 23, 2016 Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 Agreed. The condition is important. Also consider that older towables, pre 2000, may only have 30amp service which can be a somewhat limiting factor on your power capacity. Make sure you inspect the frame, shackles and brakes really well Ron & LindaClass of 20072000 Monaco Diplomat 2005 Honda Element"Do what you can, with what you have, where you are" Theodore Roosevelt"We can't control the wind, but we can adjust our sail""When man gave up his freedom to roam the earth, he gave up his soul for a conditioned ego that is bound by time and the fear of losing its attachments."

jblscooper Posted April 23, 2016 Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 We have a 18 year old (1998) NuWa Champagne that is in excellent condition, inside and out. We do have Mor/ryde IS since new. Remember the saying, going down the road you are in a constant earthquake. We have had no frame or structure problems. We did coat roof a year ago with Liquid Roof, Remember also, you can find something to do to the trailer every day! As stated, maintenance is the key.

EagleEye Posted April 23, 2016 Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 A DRV can't be too old as the first ones made I believe was 2004. We have a 2008 which was bought in late 2007 and we live in it full time. We have had minor problems but as Jim said if properly maintained they will last a long time. Always something to do.

I would say that as long as your eyesight is still good, then you're not too old to look!
