Considering my first LD...but I have a question! February 24, 2012, 05:54:14 pm Yahoo Message Number: 128767I have found a LD only 25 mins. from me here in Texas. I went to check it out and all seems to be in very good condition.It is a 1993 model with the 7.5L V8. It has 69,000 miles on it. The man is asking $15,500. That seems a bit much but I'm very new to the LD rv.Any thoughts?Thanks in advance.Tracy
