Advice on purchasing a used RV
We think we've found the new/used B we want, but it's a two-day drive from us so we're trying to check it out long-distance. It's a LTV Free Spirit with almost 80K miles. The CarFax report shows so...

Why wont you spend a couple of days traveling to make sure the vehicle is in great shape.
I would go there and check it out. The contract you sign will most likely be an as is contract. The salesman's statement that " said if we get home and something doesn't work that they'll pay to have it repaired here" is pure BS unless in writing and signed by the owner of the dealership. In the contract somewhere it will state the terms cannot be changed.
CHECK IT OUT! Have your name and address etc on a card. Hand salesman card. Say the following " I am willing to pay $ ------ for the unit after it is shown all systems function." Make your offer reasonable not a dicker them down offer. Tell salesman to go to manager and talk about whatever they talk about. Inform him the answer from him is a yes/no answer. If yes you are willing to sign a contract today. If no you are leaving.
FOLLOW THROUGH with your promise either way. Even If your offer was reasonable they may try to dicker up. DO NOT DO IT. WALK OUT. They will call you. STAND FIRM. They will cave if your offer was reasonable.
