Shop hard, the deal y'all are looking for is out there.
My experience has been to buy used, but carefully. After a few years, original owners have worked out the kinks in their new rigs, and taken the brunt of depreciation.
We've been fortunate, as out first used rig was nine years old when we bought it, and we had it for 12 more years (ending when Hurricane Micheal dropped two pines on it). We found our second one, we are the third owners again, and all the systems were in excellent shape.
As a veteran RV owner, you know what to look for. Now you need to add a little expertise on Class A engines and suspensions, and you're there.
FWIW, we discovered our current rig on RV Traders.
Hope this helps, and remember, this is fun!
