As for the people who buy new, we and I thank you very much and also for all the trips to the Dealer, getting things worked out for us and especially before we take possession of such.....

..And us folks that buy new would like to thank you for being willing to buy our used 'sloppy seconds' RVs after we're done with them, and let us get some of our $$ back out of them after we're done using them. Sure good to know that if one day we notice something thats about to break that will cost more $$ to fix than we want to put into it, we can (in some cases) just hide it long enough to sell it to some unsuspecting used RV buyer, and let them deal with that problem. :)

Soooo glad that somebody else is willing to cr*p on a toilet I've already cr*pped on for years, sleep on the same bed I've...er......SLEPT (and other things) on for several years. ;)

Hehehe, just kidding (sort of). All joking aside, one of the big reasons for owning an RV for us is because unlike a hotel, you know that only YOU and your family have stayed in it, slept in it, etc. If you buy a used RV, that whole advantage kind of goes right out the window. You might as well be staying at Motel 6 with all the bed bugs, hahaha! There's a lot to be said for knowing exactly how a unit has been taken care of, who has used it, etc. since day one.

Cars are a different story, I prefer to buy them used, and usually do. RVs, I prefer to buy new mostly for the reason alluded to above. To each their own. :)

That's funny. I have the complete opposite viewpoint (excluding the cleanliness part of course, I'm not saying that by being opposite, I enjoy other people's refuse etc.). I would rather buy a new car and a used MH.

Almost anything can be cleaned. If it can't, it can be replaced. I'm certainly not gonna set by rear down on an RV toilet I haven't cleaned yet.
