We purchased a used 1997 Allegro Bus (330 Tubo Cummings engine, 6.5 generator, single 17' slideout) on the internet two years ago (62K) and have remolded it including a full paint job, adding a motorized motorcycle rack, new satelite system, new captain chairs, reupholstered windows, couch, took out a couch and added a computer fold down table, took out carpets and installed laminate flooring throughout. We currently have less than 85K total investment and really have done very little maintenance other than replace all tires ( should be done every 5 years), replaced alternator and batteries. Although, I have either made the changes or found good deals this can be done at a fraction of the cost if you just look around. The new Allegro Bus starts at $350k. If the motorhome has very few miles I would ask how many trips were taken each year and how long it has set up in between. Currently we have over 101K miles on the bus and it is still going strong. Preventative maintenance is the life of a motorhome. If you buy a used one then expect to have to make some repairs. James & Edith McLendon Nashville, TN F396991
