I am starting my research for purchasing an RV to do a North America cross country trip.
My initial thought was to start in Florida where we keep our live aboard sailboat and head west visiting old sailing buddies across the country finally arriving on the west coast from were I would like to then head north to check out Alaska. At that point we could sell vehicle in California or circuit back to FL.
I then started toying with the idea of buying the RV out West, say Seattle then going north to Alaska and then working our way back to FL.
So my questions are:
Which coast would we get a better deal on an RV?
Which coast would be better for resale of say a class C older +/- $30.000 $50 000 RV
Not sure yet of an exact route just trying to establish a starting point.
Any input and thoughts greatly appreciated
Thx Phill
IMHO, Florida is the better place since many retired RV owners are there and prices are cheaper because they are closer to Indiana.
West Coast RVs are higher priced, partially because shipping costs are higher from Indiana.
