You might have to come to Florida or Texas or Nevada.
Used motorhomes just kind of naturally "migrate" to the areas that are most popular for retirements and winter vacations.
There are thousands and THOUSANDS of used units on the market here.....and more thousands just sitting around rotting while the widow or kids try to decide what to do with them. It's a buyers market here.
And if the used ones really ARE "darn near new", the price will reflect that. Once you get past 5-7 years old, the curve seems to get a bit steeper.
Here are some excellent buys on used:
Motorhomes of Texas
PPL Motorhomes
We sold ours within a month's time at PPL. The party flew in from Florida to purchase it.
Maybe for motorhomes but not for TT's.... Case in point:

$31,995, 3 years old.

$38,500 without even talking to someone.
I'll spend the extra $6500 to have brand new vs 3 years old.
