Just personally thinking through this situation. One may think that it is a big deal but it is a bigger deal then what one might think. We typically just trade our RV to keep from the hassle of selling it. We decided that we really did not want to talk with everybody about every detail so traded the unit. When we made that decision we sacrificed a lot of money as we accepted a trade value and naturally could not get retail value. So now the dealer sells the unit for retail and we are the ones that have to answer the questions. Why??? If you are dealing with a good dealer you should be able to get some sort of a limited warranty when you buy the used unit. Looking at it another way; when we traded our last RV the dealer did not ask about any issues that we were having. After the trade I tried to make them aware of a few minor issues with the unit but they did not care to know. At the end of the deal we are in good standing with our dealer which is a nice position to be in when it comes to getting service on the new unit. Now the new owner of the trade calls and you tell them of all of the issues that you might have had with the unit. They then go to the dealer and try to force them to make all of the repairs for them. The actions of that person could end up affecting the service relationship of the person that make the trade and paid the premium. When one buys a new unit there is nobody that you can call to see what warranty problems that you can expect with your new unit. Why should somebody who is buying your used RV expect to be able to call somebody about what problems they might have.
