We bought a used, 29 ft. unit that we spotted in the local penny saver. It was in the next town over. Around here, everyone knows everyone and the likelyhood of getting taken is less than at a dealer. That was 3 yrs ago and we are still thrilled with the purchase. That was the first and only 5'r we had ever looked at. Since then, we take in RV shows that are close by, but can honestly say that we still like ours. We plan on using it to snowbird in, in a couple more years. Until then..... practice, practice, practice. :B
