When to buy?
I’m feeling that it won’t be long when the RV market is flooded w/ used RVs. What do yuall think.

Would have to agree...I believe many people ran out and bought RVs during the height of the pandemic and had no clue what it really takes to maintain a RV. I expect to see many on the market over the next 2-5 years.
I agree. But 2-5 years of zero maintenance is going to take an expensive toll in the form of water intrusion and bad tires and worn=-out batteries. Buyer beware, even more than usual.
What makes a greater propensity for lack of maintenance? And how much "needs" to be done in the first few years?
Besides, I just bought "2-5 year old" RV. 4 to be exact. Zero maint. Had to air up the tires to tow it home, and a little sun fading from recent times out of covered storage.
Let's see, needs a little minor caulking (probably present since almost new), greased up the bearings (no different than any other new trailer), cleaned the roof and couple minor repairs that were not maintenance related.
I don't see the connection between Covid and RV maintenance whatsoever. Not like because someone bought a new camper to go sightseeing during Covid that it wasn't just as big of a (relative) investment for them as anyone else or any other reason to buy a camper.
