I have a Haulmark Motorhome on a Freightliner chassis. Mercedes 450hp/1550torque diesel. Pull anything at 9-10 mpg. Comfortable and STABLE on the road. Doesn't get pushed around like the diesel pushers.

That's an awesome rig, a manly man's motorhome. Unfortunately, Wifey can't or won't imagine herself in the driver's seat.
Seeing as this is our first motorhome and there's just the 2 of us, I'd prefer "gently used" with either low mileage or very well maintained, hopefully within driving distance of Seattle but I'll buy a plane ticket to go pick up a killer deal. Sizewise, I was hoping to keep it under 30 feet and under $40K but it appears at first blush that I'll be lucky to find a turnkey Class A diesel coach for under $80K.
Sound about right?
PS: Buizilla et al, if you come across anything that might fit the bill, or can recommend a good local dealer, let me know. Would like to find something within 30-45 days at latest.
