There are down sides to new as mentioned but there are also down sides for used. Especially uninformed new RVers. You can be talked into a piece of junk that may not be worth repairing. If you buy used have it inspected by an expert prior to purchase. Is there a difference in quality depending on price? You bet, it may not be obvious until you have RVd for a while. Most gasser MHs are built on Ford chassis. That is where it stops. Longer wheel base compared to length gives better handling. Lower end MHs have cheaper appliances, cupboards, cloth Vs leather seating, wall coverings, dual pane windows Vs single pane etc. Keeping that in mind look at high end and low end RVs. You will start seeing some of the difference. If you get slides the biggy is can you get to the bathroom with the slides closed. Look a lot before you buy. If you see any obvious water damage pass it by. Some is hidden in cupboards and closets or soft spots on floors near edges.
