I am going to look at a used 1984 Jayco motorhome. It has a 350 Chevy engine, 84,780 miles. I don't know if this is a good engine or not. The pictures of the exterior look clean but I haven't seen the inside yet.
What questions do I ask other than does everything work? My main concern is the mechanical condition and if these engines and transmissions have had issues. Or, are they the workhorse for RV's.
Our purpose is to use it a few times a year for camping within a 500 mile radius of our home. We do not intend on pulling anything with it.
I can't find anything on line other than the NADA pricing. Any RV experts out there?
Thanks for the help!Is a 1984 Jayco Motorhome with a Chevy 350 engine any good?
If it is a conversion van type motor home the 350 will do fine and is a good engine and parts are plentiful for that engine, if it's a bigger motor home like a winnapego a 350 isn't big enough, you need the 454 chevy big block to haul it around.Is a 1984 Jayco Motorhome with a Chevy 350 engine any good?
If you are not going to be pulling anything, and you are not going to be doing that much traveling, then the 350 should be fine for sporadic trips. It does sound like it has a few miles on it, so I would definitely take a test drive before purchasing. If you need more prices on used rvs, I would check out this site: http://www.campersandrvs.info.

That is a very good engine, al long as is no more than 23-24 foot long you should be good.
