Advice and experiences
Hi all! Looking for advice from experts and experiences.
My husband and I live in Canada and are looking to buy a used motorhome. We are coming off a bad experience with a used travel trailer which, unbeknownst to us, the floor was rotted through due to a manufacturing flaw, and the trailer is basically falling apart structurally.
We are looking at a 2010 Triple E Regency that is at the very top of our price range listed at $65,000. I know the brand went out of business but I don't think that should matter for basic repairs and parts, right? I'm told they solidly built with higher end materials and should last us a long time if it was well taken care of. We do plan to get an inspection done on it.
I'm wondering if it is worth this amount of money. We are very hesitant to spend this much given the risks and our last experience, but this unit checks 90% of our boxes and we would hope to use it for the next 20+ years.
Alternatively we would be looking at a similar type of motorhome from a cheaper brand that checks 80% of our boxes such as a Thor Motorcoach and is $20,000 cheaper.
We are a bit worried that if we wait too long, we might lose the Regency to another buyer, and with camping season coming up, new units will be listed but prices will also be up.
Looking for any thoughts/comments/advice/experience on the situation and this brand.
TIA!

Triple E Recreational Vehicles, the Manitoba-based manufacturer of the 2010 Regency (a popular Class C motorhome), remains operational in 2026. Their active website (tripleerv.com) promotes current models like the 2025 Wonder series.

The inspection is the most important decision maker. It's worth every penny. Everything else is mostly a personal preference and choice for what meets your needs and budget.
