How to get started? Finding a good value used RV

I like looking at private party RVs that have been stored under cover.
Makes a huge difference. And you get a feel for how it was used.
Buying off a lot the dealer has cleaned them up and sprayed them with sucker juice.

I would also say price isn't everything. It's worth it to pay a little more for condition

And don't forget to look at the tire age. Tires can cost thousands.
