Might buy new so you don't have to.

Looking at buying my first RV. Class A. Lower 30s gas unit. I think I am going to wait till mid Feb, so I don't have to worry about******freezing, figuratively and literally in Lower Alabama. Plus it will give me time to talk myself out of it. Basically, why would a unit be 40k cheaper 5 hours away? I am sure both stores could tell me why their's is best, but I want to have an opinion when I get there.

    I know your thinking new but there is lots of 2 to 4 year old slightly used motorhomes that will save you thousands compared to new.



    I just get scared since within 2 months of owning it I am taking across country with my wife and kids. 40 days for my 40th birthday. I don't want any problems on that trip. I don't want to buy an RV and then put on a new set of tires or fix someone else's problem. When I look at a couple year old models the price just isn't that far off from new. A 15k warranty with a never been slept in smell is kinda what I am thinking. I change my mind every third day though as I read through here and see other deals out there.

    Pretty much up to you want you need and don't need, some do it in truck campers with little room and some need 40 footers with washer/dryers, myself I have a 32 foot Bounder with 2 slides and it has everything I need.

  • Just some dealers cost more, maybe lack of RV dealers in your area, here in Vegas our used or new motorhomes always cost more at least $10,000 more on new models than else where, that's because we have few RV dealers for 2 million people and the next close's RV dealer is over a hundred miles away in another state, so they can do that here, however my last 2 motorhomes I went out of state and save thousands.
