Why not to buy used.
I know there are MANY on her who say. NEVER buy new, always buy used RVs. Myself. I always buy new, and here is an example why. This week we were camping beside a man who had just bought a used 201...

the wife and i just bought our first TT
we bought new
we did that for a few reasons
because we wanted a new one and not a used one was the biggest factor
yes we know it depreciated as soon as we took delivery of it
we didnt want a used one. didnt like the idea of sleeping on a bed that some else has done who knows what in it.
also didnt want to worry about who knows if the seller was telling the truth about how everything was in it.
i know warranty work may take some time to get done,but we arent full timing with it,and our use will have periods of weeks and even months in between.so if it has to sit at the dealer for a few weeks at a time when something needs fixing,no big deal to us.
we also always buy new vehicles.
not because we have lots of money(which we dont).but because we like the new technology that vehicles have.just like the newer TT's vs the older ones.
we also keep our vehicles for many years at a time(our car which was bought new is now 9 years old).we plan on keeping this TT until we retire(about 15 years from now).then we may buy something that will fit our life style at that time.
when we did our walk through i checked everything. opened every window,blind,curtain,door.operated every light,fan,furnace,a/c,radio,t.v.,microwave,stove,oven.i even got up on the roof and checked every seam,seal etc. i mean i checked every thing.
any thing i didnt like i told the salesman about,and they made it right.
i also made sure they knew i was an auto tech for 25 years before i started driving semi. so they knew not to try and BS me about anything.
we bought what we liked,after all its our money and we will do what we like with it.
its up to each individual to spend their money as they see fit.
