Jim, If I had that opinion, I'd have never bought my first Power Wagon...that's for sure! :)
Seriously though...how can you come up with that? It's the original owner who's obviously babied it. I mean even the tires..they bought the most expensive tires you can buy & so it's pretty obvious how they've maintained it but on top of all that...it's just a glorified 1971 Dodge D300 minus the rust!...with the best & arguably most reliable running gear that was ever available from Dodge. I mean where are you thinking you'd end up spending a ton of money?
My guess is that if you bought a new motorhome or even one a couple years old...the depreciation on it would be more within 2 years than the total cost of the Travco even if you had to have the engine & transmission rebuilt! :)
Now if you said you hate the 70's look...or you're not a fan of shag carpet...I guess I could understand those thoughts :)
