New to Me 2000 Dutch Star 3851 Dp

We've committed to purchase a 2000 DSDP 3851 with 70K miles this weekend. Dealer is going through systems and provides a 60 day warranty, so we feel pretty comfortable. Front tires are 2016, rear tires are new. Roof a/c's both blow cold, as does dash air. This will be our first class A motor home. Pretty excited. Appreciate any advice on what to check out when we pick it up.

Congrats!

Use it a lot for the 60 day warranty period to shake out the bugs on their dime.

As mentioned use and understand EVERYTHING. Think about it, whatever you don’t find is money in the dealers pocket.

I'm not sure what years were involved in the ball joint issues on the Spartan chassis , but be sure you get the front end checked .

More info in this post.
