AN AGE OLD QUESTION. NEW VS USED
Hello again, What I want is a reliable, smallish, easy to drive RV. Probably a smaller class C motor home. I don't want slide outs, just enough room for one person...and maybe a small dog : ) Nothing...

Biggest pile of junk was a Holiday Rambler that we bought new. Will not buy new again. That was 4 rv's ago. Anything used checked out real good before spending your money. You don't want to buy someone eles problems. Spend the money to have it inspected by an expert before you buy. And be able with any RV to use simple hand tools.
We feel into a 2 year old Arctic Fox trailer couple years ago that had very little use. Dealer had records of what was repaired being orginal dealer. Orginal owner spent more time going back and forth between dealer and his house than they used it for camping. Orginal owner didn't know which end of screw driver to use IMO. Fast forward to today. We just finished 7 month and 8,000 mile snowbirding trip with it. Replaced propane hose and replaced skylight. Skylight was put wrong by manufacture when made. Read some of the problems people have on here with RV manufactures and dealers and warranty's and extended warrany's.
You might be interested in X rental units. We've own a old Cruise America rental unit called Majestic. We got in 2008 and use it on shorter trips around the NW and love it and have had no problems. No slides or fancy frills and easy to fix. Here's a thread on x rental units. Sort of long but good info.
