buying an rv
What is the general consensus.. Buy from a private owner or a dealer?

What 2gypsies said. A dealer would probably lose the Mx records if they didn't help to sell a coach, whereas a private buyer will keep them figuring it will help sell the coach. When buying a plane, missing logs or gaps in logs will cost you thousands in resale value. They put 'NDH' - no damage history - in ads. I remind people that NDH can mean 2 things; no damage or no history.
The Sahara had a binder with the original brochure, the original sticker, a complete list of the original equipment with model and serial numbers and every receipt for parts and repairs for 18 years. I noticed that the ice maker was missing. A search of the docs showed that the coach was broadsided the first year and the ice maker was not replaced. A dealer probably would have removed that page.
