I was a first time buyer and I am happy with my purchase. Pros: all appliances worked, new tires, clean engine, no leaks & simple purchase procedure. Cons: upholstery and curtains ready for replacement. I recommend that you rent a unit before purchasing in order to gain familiarity with these RV's. When you purchase, camp locally and use the unit for several days before departing - Cruise America will make repairs, if necessary. I purchased a 23' because of access to national, state & county parks - every additional foot further reduces access. Remember, these are homes rolling down the road - you will have repairs.
