I remember clearly my dad writing an 18500.00 check for a 1989 extended cab dually-out the door. Red w/ gray cloth. The next week it was lowered on Alcoas with a shell. Pretty sure I have a photo-i'll go look.
That was my program to a T. Buy a cheap one and try it, then we can move up. If you can tow a toy hauler, you are going to be fine in a class A. Or C. If I could give my self advise 3 months ago from now, I would say to just buy the one you want. It would have saved me a good amount of money.
2006 should be good, I would confirm that it has the 3 valve engine, vs the earlier 2V. 2005/2006 was the change over year. Also should have a 5 speed vs the earlier 4 speed. They tend to run higher in the rev range than the 8.1, but reliability does not seem to be an issue. If the coach has...

I built a 720 ft ADU for my MIL last year. Owner/Builder. I am a contractor (sub) not GC. Build cost with high end finishes and appliances, hardscape, and a 5' x 45' retaining wall was right at 230/ft. Design/engineering/permits around 9k of that. I did a lot of the work, hung all the doors...
