Besides the lower initial cost, there are other good reasons to buy a used Country Coach motorhome. Some research shows that new RVs depreciate as much as 30% during their first three years. Also, because high-end RVs like Country Coach motorhomes are handcrafted, they often require several trips to the shop during the first year of ownership in order to work out little kinks. When you buy a used Country Coach, you not only can afford more RV, but you're getting something that has been adequately road tested.
When buying a used Country Coach, remember that a reputable dealer is your best friend. Not only will the dealer offer used motorhomes at reasonable prices, but the experts at the dealership have gone over every RV with a finetooth comb, which gives you a hedge against hidden defects. Plus, a dealership will be there to service your RV after the sale. Use the search feature on our main page to locate the used Country Coach RV dealer nearest you or to request information. Used Country Coach prices vary based on model, mileage and condition.
Buying a used RV is much too complicated to thoroughly cover in a brief buying guide like this. Rely on your RV dealer to perform the critical system tests, while you concentrate on the easy-to-see items. Your RV dealer will test and inspect all of these components on every used RV they offer:
1. Engine and drive train
2. Brakes, axles and stabilizing jacks
3. Water lines, tanks and valves
4. Propane system
5. Electrical components, such as inverter and battery charger
6. Heating and/or air conditioning ducting
7. Furnace and air conditioner
8. Frame and subfloor
This list represents the bare minimum that must be inspected to ensure the safety of a used RV. In reality, most RV dealers inspect far more items than this. Be prepared for your sales person to offer you a list of literally dozens of details the dealer has inspected, tested or repaired on the used RV you're considering.
So what should you inspect yourself? Start with the interior. Look for excessive caulking around windows, which may indicate water leakage. Look closely at the upholstery, flooring and window coverings. Are they all free from rips, tears or repairs? If the RV contains mechanical devices, such as a sofa bed, make sure they all function smoothly. Open and close the cabinet doors. Check out the appliances to make sure they're in good working order.
Next, conduct a livability test on any used RV you're seriously considering buying. As you move through the RV, think about how you intend to use it. Can two people pass each other in the hallway? Is the galley large enough? Too large? Are the appointments all to your liking? Livability should not be a problem with a used Country Coach, since the brand caters to the most discriminating buyers. Rather, you should consider what types of upgrades you're willing to spend more to have, such as satellite television throughout the coach or a Bose Wave sound system.
After you've thoroughly inspected the Country Coach, take it for a test drive. You can point out any mechanical issues to your sales person, who can get them resolved. Lastly, don't forget to request an overnight stay in your used Country Coach motor home before making your purchase decision. This will give you an opportunity to test out all the systems and get a feel for how livable the motor home really is.
