Keep in mind that some folks buy a new Class A's with visions of the glorious travel memories to be made with a Motorhome. Then the poor RV languishes in a storage yard or back yard un-moved for many months or years!
If you could do some research and find one of these "Storage Queens", the current owner is the one who took the depreciation hit of nearly 40% or so you benefit from a good, solid, fairly new and extemely low mileage "cream puff"!
RV Trader and other used sites would be great places to start...private party sales sites. Google national "for sale by owner" sites to find out what the bottom price would be on the rig you want to buy. Best of luck!
Examples-2013 Winnebago Sightseer 35G..
New at dealer-$153,00-$143,000
Used-2012 $105,000 with 6200 miles! Another used (2010)with 15,000 miles for $8100.
Just a thought!
