We purchased our 2002 3280RL in Sept 2016. Had it cross country twice, Yellowstone, and all over Calif. Love the rig, couldn't replace it for what we have invested. Luckily I have the ability, so all of the labor has been me. DW and I were discussing it the other day. Maintenance and upgrades are my hobby.
