Lots of good advice. I am one of those who always buys new, so can't really speak to the age/price/condition issues.

I personally prefer the Chevy platform as many of the old Dodge units had handling problems.
I would add two bits of advice:
First, don't restrict yourself to just Roadtrek. Pleasureway, Leisure Travel and Great West Vans all have some great units floating around out there. I have had a GWV Class B and an LTV Class C. In the early 2000s, GWV had many interesting floor plans that are not common anymore. I loved their old side sofa model which was great for the single traveler. Another option is Sportsmobile. There are often used units for sale on their website from happy owners who have upgraded. They will be unique units and the company can often do tweaks for you. Haunt the recommended sales websites.
Second, if possible, you might try renting over a couple weekends to see what you do and don't like... or need.
