It doesn't matter much where you buy it. The main thing is to find a motorhome that you love at a price that's fair. We ended up buying from a repair shop that helps his regular customers by selling their used rigs on consignment. The plusses were: a) He knew the history of the rig because he'd been servicing it for years, b) He understood what it was really worth, not just what his customers wanted for it.
The other piece of advice is to try to avoid falling "in love" with any particular deal. Once that happens you're gonna get hosed on the price. The best deals I've gotten are ones that I walked away from -- and a few days/weeks later the seller contacted me and accepted a far lower price. There are LOTS of nice motorhomes out there. If you don't get one, another will come along.
