We've had ours since August 2004 and are still quite pleased with it. It's been a good, quiet, comfortable, reliable RV. We've seen nothing that would make us want to purchase anything different.

I would only suggest one thing - if your candidate RV has the LT235/85R-16G Goodyear G614 RST tires such as came on ours, get them off as quickly as possible. We've upgraded to the 17.5" Michelin XTAs rated 4805 lbs @ 120 PSIG and have put our tire problems (tread separations) behind us.

We have had our '05 since '07 and have just now had first maintainance issue--slide rollers on door-side slide have needed replacement. About $280 in parts, fixed them myself.
Other than the above, have put over 25000 miles towing in 5 seasons and little else. I echo Rusty's recommendation to be sure and get the 17.5" wheels/tires if it isn't already equipped with them--this is a +$2000 cost, so figure that in the deal if needed. The unit with 16" tires is near weight capacity and that causes problems with blowouts.
I would not hesitate to purchase another Mobile Suites.

Rusty, you didn't tell them about the suites site, SOITC (suites owners international travel club), suitesowners.com, I think. There's a thread for potential owners, new or used, you can ask any question you want and owners will let you know what their experience has been. There are a lot of suite owners that buy new ones every few years, seem to be a loyal bunch.

Very nice rigs, but also very heavy. A couple of years ago we looked at them several times, but decided they were too heavy.

We have an 06 32tk3. Only real grip I have is the gap under the kitchen area slide. We have to stuff insulation in it and take it out every time we tow. You may need to provide additional fans behind the fridge in extreme heat (90+). Fridge, being it's on a slide, has no top vent, only side vents. I did. I do wish I had dual pane windows though. I would buy another Mobile Suites.
