All of the folks here are wonderful people and will give you great advice generally. One of the few exceptions to the "great advice here" rule is when asking about buying a former rental RV. I urge you to listen to IAMICHABOD and only take the advice of people who have actually purchased a former rental. As IAMICHABOD said, please take the time to read the entire thread about buying a rental that he linked to. It will answer EVERY question you have about the subject and much more with advice and opinions from tons of people who have purchased a former rental from large rental companies. It will also save you time and money if you choose to purchase one. For example, CA doesn't budge much on price but they will put time and free parts into your RV before you drive away. I talk about this in detail in the thread. Good luck!
I see you live in California. Thanks to amazing weather all year, a lovely coastline, and a plethora of National Parks to choose from within a days drive, the used RV market is rough in California. I looked for over a year and the only private sellers I found were either over priced junkers or people selling two year old RV's for $1000 less than they paid new. Everyone in California wants an RV and for good reason. This is one factor that brought me to CA and El Monte.
