Everyone likes new. The problem is that often the problems are.
Anyone who knows the difference between a torx & allen screw will be able to deal with most problems encountered. They simply are not worth the drive to the dealership or the down time while the dealer gets around to giving your rig the hour or so that it takes to fix.
Then there are those who only know how to use one tool. The credit card. The Newbs in this group come in thinking that the RV industry operates like the automotive industry. Wrong!
If your rig is under warranty & out of service you are not getting a loaner. You are not likely to be getting any special consideration so that you can do that long awaited trip. You are out of luck.
JMO, but find a well cared for, preferably lightly used, unit & find yourself a good independent RV tech who does not care what builder or where you bought yours from. Be prepared to lend a hand if one will make the job go easier & you might just learn something as you go along.
They are out there. I had to replace a large fridge. Took 3 of us to get old out & the new in. Learned something about RV fridges that day.
Being confident about buying used & fixing any problems has never been easier. YouTube is your friend.
The person without any DIY skills will not likely be able to identify a well cared for RV vs. a leaky lemon.
They will not recognize a minor issue from a major issue.
For every used cream puff story there is some poor soul stuck with a lemon and a horror story
