We have a 2008 T40c that we picked up from small dealer in SC. I had wished I had looked over it a bit closer. As Chuck said all of them have their issues and GulfStream is not making class A's anymore. I have replaced all 8 batteries, 4 6v, 2 chassis group 31 and 2 house batteries. I happened to have 4 house batteries due to the dealer hi-jinks and the 6v set so I built a rack and put the extra 2 house batteries in the bay so I now have 4 house ones. Dealer split the cost with us for 6 new tires when we bought it since they were out of date.

I have recently replace 2 of the 3 heat pumps after they failed on 2 different trips. There were some maintenance items that should have been done before I brought it home that I got to do in my driveway. (front brakes replacement due to leaking inside wheel bearing seal) I have found nothing exceptionally bad when compared to my previous 31' F-53 chassis RV that I bought new.

In a nut shell... be prepared to do some work regardless of who built it.
