I always bought used. It seemed like a better deal. This newest one we went new because I was tired of the increasing expense and frustration of the problems. It was always working great when it went into (indoor) storage. I would take it out and there were suddenly little problems, usually plumbing and electrical. Those were financially cheap but took a long time to fix. Then it was shocks, bushings, brakes and the biggie, the fuel pump at only 37k. At 13 years and only 37k miles I was dreading the roof leaks and window leaks. I've been through that on a previous coach and they are a PITA. The reality is that these things bounce down the road and things get loose. Just need to know when enough is enough and start over. If we hadn't found exactly what we wanted new, we probably would have gone gently and recently used.
