We bought two RVs on line. A type B from a dealer in Florida, we are in NY. We were anxious to say the least. We did our research on the RV and on the dealer. We talked to the dealer and were assured that if the unit was mis stated in any way, they would give us our deposit back. Everything worked out great.
Our second online purchase was a private owner. It was a Type C, 4 years old with less than 4000 miles.
It was kept in a heated garage and was in excellent condition. We got it as a great price and were very happy with our purchase. Just do your homework and talk to the owners. Check it out before you buy if possible. We have bought well over $100,000 in vehicles on e-bay and have not had a bad experience.
I’m sure it happens, but so far we’re happy buyers.
