Depending on your location and the availability of a qualified tech, I would ask the seller permission to have someone in the service business check out the coach and generate a list. Similar to a mechanic checking out a used car before purchase. Marathon makes an excellent and highly reliable coach, but there will always be something with every motor home.

In our shop we charge 750.00 for a full inspection and the related list. As a rule this takes a knowledgeable guy around 8 - 10 hours and includes a road test. If we get enough related repair work from that list we waive the fee.

All in all though, you should be on very firm ground with the Marathon / Prevost combination.

Best,
