Would it be worthwhile looking at a secondhand RV?

An RV purchase means some serious cash no matter what size of rig that you’re looking at.

That being the case, if you’re in the market for one it seems only sensible to try and reduce the cost by looking at used motorhomes, but is that a sensible thing to do? The snag is that RVs vary a LOT in how they’ve been used. You can find one that’s basically only been used a couple of weeks per year over a number of years but then what about the mileage that was ran up during those couple of weeks? Actually, the mileage is rarely the problem but where the rig was taken might be: low mileage on unpaved roads would usually be worse than high mileage on paved roads. Finally, there’s the usage of the equipment inside although you’ll generally not have too many issues on that front.

It’s definitely worthwhile having a look but make a long checklist of questions before you begin.
