The only problem with a Low Milage Queen such as that, the tires and things like engine hoses, belts, bushings, roof sealant, generator all have sat for a substantial period of time unused. She needs care and a diligent inspection by a really detail orienated mechanic.

I found the same model and year in Georgia with 14,800 miles for $62,000.00.
Another for $58,000.00 with 28,000 miles in Ohio, $59,900 no miles listed in LA, most others were 15,000 miles to 28,000 miles.

$34,900 was the lowest price, with 18,000 miles. And $69,999 was the highest in Syracuse with 23,000 miles. (RV Trader)

Good luck...grind the owner on the price a bit!

Usually the reason for the high prices is the balance due on the loan. The $62,000 guy probably owes 61,900 and wants to get a little out of the sale.

Frankly, the hype over super-low mileage doesn't translate into a significantly higher price. The value guides make it seem like you should pay a high premium for extremely low mileage, but you probably won't get any when you try to sell or trade.

As said, the items that wear or need attention STILL need attention and replacement.

I would say a post on friday evening is NOT going to generate as many quick responses as oNE made on sunday morning

i bet you will see some damon owners on here soon enough, don't be so impatient

you could look for a damon owners 'group' on the web and see what they have to say

you sure thats 4,900 and nOT 49,000

4,900 would be very rare .. extremely low

replace all belts etc..

change ALL fluids


Options, always have options, and the journey goes much smoother
