OBI Dweller Review and Discussion

[Josh00333]

It looks like my current RV goes away this week and I'll be able to get in to a used Dweller very soon.

There are 3 good options for me.

Here is my question for the experienced 'Dwellers'.

Exact same modifications and same price, would you take option A.) that is new and unused and stored indoors that got nearly all of the RoA mods, done by the owner, or B.) a used but well taken care of Dweller that went through the entire PDI and mod process actually from RoA (with the accompanying new price).

Is the RoA PDI and maybe more subtle mods so valuable to maybe drive further, buy it used, and maybe even pay a bit more? Or better to just take the brand new one with nearly the exact same mods (it's missing the extra bunk which I don't need & the indoor frig).

Thoughts?

Kinda need to know the price difference. If it’s 10 grand a is a no-brainer. I bought mine used but brand new. The plastic was still on the toilet for example. The interior refrigerator is nice but it takes away storage space and there’s not a lot of interior storage space.

So this silly little project only took three Amazon orders and three trips to my trailer to finally fix but victory is mine. I replaced the front cargo struts.

🤣

What is the cost of each unit?

What is the cost of each unit?

Asking is $27.5K for the brand new one with mods and $32K for the used one from RoA.

I've already decided that I'm prioritizing the new one. However I did turn down a solid cash offer for my Forest River today (only listed it yesterday) for a few personal reasons.

It might be a wee bit longer, but we'll see.

Do you have any information on how used the used one is? I would liklely go for the new one. ROA liklely paid more at dealer cost several years ago then what you can buy a one for that has gone to auction or that a dealer just wants to dump. Either way there is a good chance they have both been out in the weather for several winters now.

Is this still the best cover choice for a Dweller 15?

Thanks.

I'd say yes. The part numbers may have changed but the cover is definitely worth it. It holds up to severe SoCal wind and sun.
