RIALTA

After looking around a bit I think this fits the bill for (near) current production of an aero motorhome. Others (older) would also include Winnebago LESHARO and Itasca PHASER.

Motorhomes have a high cents-per-mile cost, so older & cheaper is not necessarily a bargain when repairs start to mount. I haven't looked into the problems with RIALTA at any depth, but were I looking to cover 10-20,000 miles annually I think this would be a good start given it's limitations.

Motorhome Magazine Open Roads Forum: Rialta - tell me about your experience, thoughts, input.

For brand new (and longest life in this instance) I'd stick with a motorhome based on the Sprinter.

This is but one example:

ERA | FREEDOM. FLEXIBILITY. FUN.

Expediters average at 20 or above using these vans in commercial service, with good records, overall.

More:

Roadtrek Motorhome, RV Camper Van, Class B Motor Homes

Airstream Interstate

Brand new is about $130k, three years about $75K
