Might be a bit high, depending on where you are (west coast is higher, southeast is lower). NADAGuides is not magic, but is better than any other commercial site I know. Better still is collecting a bunch of SOLD (as opposed to FOR SALE) data for your area, but this is time-consuming at best. Assuming it has an air conditioner and awning - the only expensive options - NADA says you might think about $7800.

Of course, you should ask how long the "guaranteed working" certification lasts. If you take it home, and then go camping in two weeks and discover that the refrig (for example) doesn't work, what is your recourse? Did the certification expire when you drove off the lot?

Finally, as others will tell you, you should ask how old the battery is (a relatively minor item), and how old the tires are (don't take the dealer's word for it - look for the DOT code on the tire, and insist on 3 years or less).

BTW, this should be a great model, and is new enough not to present the problems that we sometimes hear about here. Good luck!
