If I were you I'd take a road trip and go to PPL in Houston. A couple of days there will really give you an education on what's out there, even if you don't buy there. And since you can walk around and go in every one without a saleperson..... Then visit Motorhomes of Texas in Nagadoches, tx, and MHSRV on the outskirts of Dallas (another amuse yourself dealer) and you will get a range of dealers and choices. Then look at the website for DiMartini in California to see if you want to look at anything there. At that point you have good reference points on good coaches and with MOT and DeMartini you have seen two of the best-liked dealers in the country. By then you should be ready to go out into the world, Little Brother.
On here, i'd listen to advice from Bruce Brown, Ivylog, and Brett Wolfe and a few others but mainly those three. There are others but they don't respond to as broad a range of queries, so I dont remember their names this morning but Dave Head, Larry Cad and Larry Feather come to mind as well as Scharley and Sully2.......
And MHSRV will even give you a golf cart to ride around in wile you look. It's a big place. One thing I suggest you do if you visit there is look at the trade-in rigs waiting for cleaning. It'll be an eye opener for you. They make PPL's consignment units look pristine and give you an idea of what that sparking used RV looked like when the previous owners had it. That experience was what precipitated our change in strategy from looking at dealers to looking at private sales.
