Thinking about downsizing to a B
I’ve been watching you tube videos and reading lots of forums and here is my list of things I’d like in a B. Older model with low mileage, dry bath, shorter in length like the Pursuit, no slide, not o...

I bought a 2015 LTV SS about 18 months ago from a private party for a tad over $81k. We had to travel from the Pacific NW to northern California to get it. I also found when looking that most prices for the SS were around the $95k to $100k range and dealers especially were reluctant to lower their price. I did notice that occasionally one would appear, usually a 2013 around $83 to $85k, but not very often. My main point is, you'll probably do better dealing with a private party and you have to be patient. And you may have to travel to find the right deal.
As you are aware, the LTV SS was built only three years so there aren't that many around. I've noticed the Winnebago Era 70C series with the slide seems to be more available and sells at a more competitive price. But it's built on the longer 24 foot chassis and I wanted the shorter mid size chassis, and in my opinion, the Era doesn't have the build quality of the Leisure Travel.
The 2015 has some nice upgrades over the earlier models, like a bigger fridge, 6 volt golf cart batteries and additional storage over the driving cabin. I think it's the most desirable model. But again, it's just my opinion.
I think the SS is a good choice for those looking for a lot of big rig features built into the foot print of a van. We've used our SS quite a bit since we acquired it and it has worked out well for us.
Good luck in your search.
