    Tips for motor home buying.

    1. An old motor home is not a good buy.

    2. 50k on a motor home is like 200k on the normal car

    3. Transmissions on motor homes are probably more costly than a car due to being heavy duty.

    4. brown fluid and burnt smells equal trouble

    5. Don't Buy it

    if its burnt and smells there is probably a trans problem
