Want to buy RV and need advice please

My husband and I are ready to buy a USED RV.
Would really appreciate if anyone has any ideas/tips/warnings etc before we make the plunge?

A little about us.

1. Our budget is $20k in cash. (We do have more, but only if it was a spectacular deal)
2. We have had a trailer before and definately want a motorhome.
3. It is just for two people and our German Shepherd (sometimes).
4. We like convenience, comfort and space, but are not extravagant.
5. We will mostly use it for 3-5 day trips.

We are already looking at some online. We would never buy unseen, but some of them are looking really good.

  • Do not be in a hurry to buy. Look at as many units as posible. Go to RV shows and dealers.

    Even buying USED you can get an idea of what you may like/dislike by loking at new models.

    Ask lots of questions, do a lot of reading and reserch BEFORE you give a seller any money or sign any agreements.

    There is a RV out there that fits your style and budget. Just take your time, you will find it and be better informed when you finally make the purchase. Enjoy your travels. :)
