My wife and I are relatively new to the rv life, we inherited a 2000 Dutchstar motor home, 38 ft, cat diesel, with one slideout, NO TV, it's got 180 K miles on it, my Dad had it serviced every 3,000 miles, he pretty much came down from Idaho every Thanksgiving, parked it at our river house till he headed back to Idaho in April.It's been a good rig but it does need maintenance like the dash air needs to be charged, the brake squealer started going off last time out, and we just put a set of new Michelin tires all the way around l.....we were coming back from Morro bay last week, saw a 2002 Gulf Stream Discovery Yellowstone Silver Edition 36.6FT in a parking lot, for sale. We were NOT looking to buy a newer one but took a look at this one anyway, it has 20 K miles on it, and from what I understand it is "loaded". It's a beautiful rig, has the cat diesel on the freightliner chassis, I've had people tell me I'm "stepping down" from the Dutchstar ? from what little we know about RV's this one looks like a keeper, the guy wanted $45,999 for it, we are gonna take it for a test drive Monday, we can get it for $42,500.00..............your thoughts ?..........thanking any and all input, I'll be on my cell phone the next couple of day's,......hard for me to "type" on it so if I don't reply right away, I WILL be back on the pc on Tuesday / Wednesday..............thanx in advance............
