I would disagree, with, pretty much the entire statement. First, your best buy is about a 3 to 4 year class C. Buying new and trading it in every 4 to 5 years is, in my opinion completely nuts.

Buy the right one, a few years old, get what you want and drive it till the wheels fall off. Bought ours 11 years ago. It was 4 years old at the time have put 60K on it and is still going strong. Have no plans to replace anytime soon
We bought our /93 classC used sixteen years ago. since that time it and we have been in every corner of N America.
It has a shade under one hundred and seventy thousand miles on the clock.
We paid $22,000 Canadian and could easily sell for five or six
thousand.
Barring accident or fire, this will be our first and last unit.
As I turn eighty this fall, who know how long we will be able to travel extensively?
We are not campers in the usual sense, we have never over nighted
less than a full days drive from home!
