We are going to Florida in May to shop for a used Class B diesel RV.
Any advice on shopping and negotiating? so far RV trader is what I mostly look at.
Should we buy a warranty from a dealer?
Has anyone had a pre sale inspection done? recommended?
for service, do we go to a established camping place or dealer, or a Mercedes dealer?
What red flags should we look for when first inspecting a prospective RV?
I read that tires typically last 5-6 years, no matter the mileage. How much do new tires typically cost, on average?
Here is a real newbie question. Why is it important to be level? I understand the obvious not parking on a hill, but what else is important about that?
I noticed that some awnings are powered, and are manual. Are there also different sizes? What would be the best option?
As you can see, we will be learning as we go, so any words of advice and wisdom will be greatly appreciated.
I am excited for this new adventure, and think its just time to do it and live and learn. But it would be good to know as much as possible, and especially not make a big mistake in a purchase.
