I'm getting close to retirement and we started considering RV'ng about three years ago. We bought a used 2002 Prowler Fifth wheel that was in real good condition and at a good price. We weren't sure if we were even going to like Rv'ng and didn't want to spend a lot of money on a unit if we didn't like it.
Well, yes...we love it!!! Just bought a Primetime Crusader. retiring in 7 more months, and can't wait to do some extensive traveling.
I guess what I'm trying to say is, it won't hurt to buy a used one, find out if you really like it. Plus, you can make a bunch of "newbie" mistakes on your used one, before upgrading. And believe me, we made plenty.
