When is the best time to buy a used class C RV
When is the best time to buy a used class C RV? Also, what manufacturers are best selection for used RVs? Any years to avoid?

The best time is when you have the money and fine one you like at a price you're willing to pay. :)
For used RVs, the condition is IMHO a far more important consideration than the manufacturer. Obviously there are better makes and better model likes within a make, but a well-kept low-end motorhome will be a much better deal than an unmaintained high-end model. Besides this, many of the components are the same: the chassis are made by the same few companies, there are relatively few models and makes of appliances, the windows come from the same makers, etc.
Years to avoid is rather more dependent on details of the units you're looking at. For the most part, though, there aren't any recent years that should be avoided at all costs; the Ford (and Chevy, etc.) chassis are generally quite reliable if properly maintained, even the less desirable years.
