Please, please don't buy new whatever you buy. That is unless you just have money you want to throw away in depreciation.
I highly suggest that you look at some units from 2007-09. They will probably have flat screen TVs, updated electronics, larger overheads to install DVD players and satellite receivers. They may have updated satellite dishes installed by the previous owner. If you buy smart and do your pre delivery inspection correctly, you'll probably find a unit that has had all the bugs worked out and some nice owner upgrades like a sleep number bed and washer.
Look for a unit that has an average of 3-5K miles per year on it and has some hours on the generator. That shows that the previous owner has actually used the unit which means they had to fixed the thing that continually come unscrewed, unglued or just fall apart when you bounce your home down the road.
Also, look for a unit that has all the maintenance records available. For instance, I know that the first owner of my MH blew the turbo on the Cummins at 700 miles on his maiden voyage! Whoever, buy my MH will have records of all periodic maintenance and a Word document with everything I've fixed, replaced, added or modified along with receipts. If you buy from a dealer, insist that you be put in contact with the previous owner.
