Waaaaaay too many variables to make a blanket decision like this. You might find a good or bad deal in either place. The best way to shop for an RV is pick a floorplan you like, a brand or model you like and shop online - private and dealer for prices so you can start narrowing down where you will shop. Many folks in a private sale think their RV is worth way more than it is. Dealers are in the business of making money on RV's. You have to educate yourself on what a "good" price is for the RV you want and find that price. It could be in either place.
This is the best advice yet,that is exactly what I did and what I found.
I then went Another way of looking for my next RV and found exactly what I wanted within my budget and I am very happy with that decision.
