Thanks for all your input. I was looking at buying a 2-3 year old one that hopefully won't need new tires. The other plus of buying, I get to try rv'ing out, work out the bugs. Makes me a little nervous picking up a rental the day before a 2 week trip. I'm totally aware of the risks. The rental fee for for 2 weeks is about $5500. I feel like buying one, using for 6 months, practicing, could I at least break even and sell it for around 5k less than what I paid for it. Thanks again for all the input.
