I see several posts are suggesting you look outside your area. I sadly concur.
Nice used Class Cs are a hard find. I looked for THREE years in central Iowa before finding a decent Class C to buy. (I was in the 6-8k price range)
Actually, it found me. I posted a 'Looking For' craigslist ad in the for sale campers section. I find it logical as some may look there to see what the compition has for sale. Expect your posts to be flagged and removed. I did this over a course of a week and then stopped. Three weeks later a guy responded (he saved my information). He was in the process of moving and had no intention of selling it until the following spring. He told me the sheer amount of information in my ad as to what I desired motivated him to call me. I was very specific. Don't just put "Looking for Class C". Be specific. I realize many of the things I asked for are academic but it mattered. (Proper spelling helps too!) I specified my price range also. I had the cash funds and was ready to buy. We exchanged emails via craigslist, then he sent pics, then I asked for address; it was in a bedroom community. Found it on google earth, nice neighborhood. DID not take the cash with me for first visit!!! OPSEC here folks.
Long story short; I bought a 94 Tioga Arrow 32 footer E350 93k miles for 7 grand, it booked out at $8300.00. 2000.00 in tires, massive tune up with a new EMC and I have a fantastic rig. And She found me!
First long trip was to Table Rock Lake last month and she rode/drove like a dream.
