But it is 30 years old. I am sometime wondering if it is worthy.Read from this thread "How old is too old" on irv2, most of the discussion on that thread focus on 15 to 20 year old coach. Nobody mentions 30+ years old coach. Quote Selected

Re: older fortravel advice Reply #33 – May 07, 2021, 06:25:26 pm Like Brett said, we need to know more details of your coach to be of specific help. We have just returned ( 1 hour ago) from a 1,700 mile spring trip in our 87 ORED 36 ft. We bondocked outside flagstaff az then spent 8 days in a state park in New Mexico where we dry camped. Everything in our coach worked flawlessly, touch the switches twice and we're level, hot water and fridge, same deal, switch it on and forget about it.What I'm trying badly to express is, the older coaches are just as capable as the newer ones they're just not as complicated.IMHO Quote Selected 2 Likes
