This is a great thread Johnny, I just wish I had read it before I bought my new MH. As a first time RVer I went to the dealership with my family on an impulse looking to trade in my 2001 Chaparral deck boat for a 5th wheel. We started looking at motorhomes and got sucked into paying full retail for a high end gas class A.
In hindsight, there are plenty of lower-end, new diesel pushers in the same $140,000 range out there that I think would have made me much happier with the purchase.
We are trying to make the best out of what we have, and truth-be-told, we are having a great time camping in our new rig. Just spent a couple weeks travelling around Arizona with the wife and kids, and didn't even once think about what I paid for it or what I could have gotten instead.
