Used but almost new price opinion
The wife and I have been casually looking at Class A motor homes. Since we are mainly weekend warriors due to both of our work schedules, we are looking at used models. We have been going to RV show...

Two points: 1. When you said that you would buy it if it's less that a new one, you answered thequestion about the price for yourself.
I said I would buy it if I could get a good price on it. It would have to be significantly lower than a new one. If not, there would be no reason to not buy a new one.
Of course no one but the dealer knows how much the dealer has invested in the MH. I know my father in law bought a new class C a few years ago. He purchased it for 90K and only took one long trip in it. He didn't like the way it drove and wanted to get back into a Class A. He took it back to the dealer he purchased it from (just a couple of months later) and they only offered him 40K for it! I think he only put about 2000 miles on it. Just knowing that, there would have been a very large markup in price on that used (almost new) Class C. I figured there would be room to bargain but who knows.
We'll see if I hear back from the dealer.
