Over Priced Used Motorhomes.

I kinda doubt it. The rigs that are upside down will go back to the banks, then auction. The others I'm guessing are owned by people that can afford them, and it's worth more to them to keep the rig then to sell it for an insulting price. Most of the really good rigs are owned outright by people that don't need the money.

The great deals you hear about on these forums are usually the ones that are on the dealers turd lot that they took in on trade-in. I'll never forget looking at a few in a Texas auction lot when a guy asked me my opinion on one. He just flew in to buy it since it was such a great price, way below Nada. The whole area below a window on a slideout was delam. He wanted to know if I thought that was bad, cause you know it was selling at a low low price and hard to pass on, and maybe a few screws could make it look nice again.

If an owner bought a nice rig, kept great care of it, and now is worth only $25K or less, they aren't going to let some newbie talk them into a 10K cut in price. Heck for $15K I'ld let a rig rot into the ground then sell it for that low of a price or give it away to a family member.

You may think these rigs are overprice which is your right, but don't expect owners that don't need the money that took great care of their rigs to let them go to a newbie that really don't know what they are getting in return for their dollar.

Like I said before if you can buy a rig for $20K, tour the US and live out of it for three years, it's worth every penny. Now if all you're going to do is six weekends of camping and let the rig sit in the driveway, well then $20K is a lot of money to a family on a budget.
