I have bought two brand new motor homes. The first I kept it only six months. It was a 36' gasoline motor home and I did not like the way it handled on windy days. So I traded it in for a diesel pusher which has been an excellent coach 38'. My experience with new motor homes is that the problems usually happen in the first two years. Things need adjustments and reinforcements.
I have had my diesel pusher now for twelve years. Two major problems I have had within those twelve years. The first was a Huei fuel pump which was still under warranty. That was about nine years ago. The second problem I have had was an exhaust leak on the exhaust manifold and that was like two years ago.
Don't make the mistake I made and buy a gasoline motor home because later you will want a diesel pusher. The diesel pushers are superior on every category. I have 61K miles on it now and it rides better then when it was new. The engine is just breaking in now to where you really feel the power.
If I was to purchase another coach, I think I would purchase a two or three year old coach that has had TLC and well maintained. The bugs are usually already taken care off. But my point of getting a two or three year old coach is that you would save a lot of money because these coaches as soon as you drive out from the dealers lot start the depreciation in value. But they sure are a lot of fun.
Good luck!
