My 2c.
I wouldn't necessarily count out an ex rental, however on the flipside, there are so many RVs out there for sale and while you can be relatively assured that a rental received decent general maintenance to the chassis and drivetrain, you can also be assured that there were 100 different drivers, none of which had a larger stake in the care of the unit than the cost of their rental bill.
Good? Bad? Luck of the draw?
Private owner sales, you can find one assuredly with many less miles and likely more amenities, and far fewer "pilots." Additionally, you have the ability to judge not only the vehicle, but gain a sense for how well it was cared for and how responsible ( or irresponsible) the previous owner was.
We generally buy all vehicles and toys used.
But buying anything used without a warranty is a cr ap shoot, and one that I don't mind playing. But I only buy in person private party (save for 1 truck many years ago, that was right place right time, right situation) so I can get a feel and hopefully some "proof" of the condition of the thing being purchased.
Food for thought...
