Hey all, newbie from New Mexico.

So, we are looking for our first RV, likely a 5th wheel. This will be our first RV of any kind. We are on our way to being debt free so something with a loan attached is moving in the wrong direction. I am also concerned that we won't use it as much as we think, I really don't want a note on something deprecating in my side yard (we have a side RV parking spot with gate). Max length I can fit is 28'.

I am looking at an older 5th wheel (early/middle 2000s) to fit in my $10K budget. Tips on buying older used 5th wheels/RV? We have two pre-teen kids so a bunkhouse is desirable. Any thoughts on brands to avoid, what to look for, etc?

I am currently looking at a 2004 Keystone RV SPRINDALE 249BHL for 11K (which seems high).

Many thanks,
nate

FYI, I drive a 2001 Chevy 2500 HD with the 6L gas. It has tow package (i.e. aux oil and trans cooler), bedrails for 5thwheel hitch, and controller already.
