My point was two fold; if a brand new RV was selling for the same price a USED RV sells for, imagine the discount a used one needs to be priced at to sell in that market. The other point was; I too THOUGHT I was in the market for a used RV until I realized I didn't need to settle for used when new was being discounted so heavily.
OP; do yourself the favor and when you shop for an RV, consider the option of buying new in Arizona. Instead of writing a check for, oh I don't know, at least $15,000 on something that has no warranty or recourse when you discover the faults of a used RV. You might just have to write a monthly check for under $250, keeping your cash flow viable, and have a full warranty. After all, every USED RV is going to need something soon; batteries, tires, roof maint., etc. Those are going to inflate the cost of your used purchase after the initial purchase; getting the RV to a point where you are confident it's not going to break down some where and spoil your trip or... worse; cause an accident and endanger your or your family's life.
