Are you a fan of buying at RV Shows?
I have talked to a number of people locally, and a few of them are fans of two big dealerships, whereas other folks say they think you get better deals at the big RV Shows? Anyone have any input on...

I am not a big fan of buying an RV or similar item (boat, motorcycle, airplane) new. When something depreciates and loses 15% of its value in the first 12 months of ownership and as much as 50% in the first 3-4 years and the RV is likely to have been in actual use 2-3 weeks out of the year, then it makes more sense to buy a lightly used RV than a new one.
With a used RV the prior owner has had to work with the dealer and the factory to resolve any problems or defects and I avoid spending my time and energy and money.
There is also a history for a 3 year old or older RV that I can easily research on the internet. With a new RV I lack this history and it is much more of a gamble.
