HDFAN..

How old is too old? Hard question. Thats why I suggest you start immediately looking at used units that meet your size/weight requirements. If you are diligent and patient, you will know when you come across a great deal--and you have to be ready to pounce, because if it IS a great deal, it will be gone before long.

I have owned 9 rvs, only one new one, and haven't gotten stung on any of them--oldest was a 88 model in 93, a Holiday Rambler Alumalite.

Gotta get out an look at advertised units--some you will know right away it isn't good, some will be possibles, and one, just one, will be a perfect fit. And get your wife deeply involved in this--they are usually the one who needs everything right, not you.
