I would much rather deal with a private party any day vs a stealership! Dealers always want more and get it most of the time, as they are in bed with the lenders and can get a car, truck, boat or RV financed for a higher amount. Walking in with cast means little to them, unless it is the end of the month and they want to move units! There are pluses for them to get you to finance from "their" lender!
Find a MS or Teton from a private party, your cash deal will buy you a lot more with a private seller. When one lays down 80 percent of an asking price with money under the sellers nose, it is really hard for them to not pick it up!
Personally I would go rent an apartment there for 6 months and feel things out, and then start your RV adventure in the late spring or summer, giving you lead time to figure out the winter living thing. Doing it now would be like jumping in a near frozen lake without a life jacket!
