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 2015 TT. Over the course of the trip. He found out the toilet had been frozen, and had to be repaired. Then the water heater would not work, and the fresh tank was missing the plug. the list goes on.
Best thing about his trip is that he lived close by. So he didn't have to stay in a unusable TT. As soon as he fixed one thing. He found another. Didn't get to stay even one night at the CG.

That boys and girls. Is why I always suggest you buy new.

So, he had a couple hundred buck of repairs to do. You, OTOH, could avoid that by putting your unit out of commission for months of warranty repair time, and also losing thousands of bucks in depreciation in the process.

Good choice, if time any money aren't issues. :R

Your repair logic is flawed. One can make repairs to a new unit it is not mandatory that the unit be returned to the dealer.
Nor is it a given that a used unit will not be returned to a dealership for repairs.
If you are DIY savvy you will complete the repairs yourself whether the rig is new or used.
How long the RV sits at the dealer has a lot to do with how well the dealership is run and how demanding the RV owner is.
The new used debate is not about repairs. Repairs and maintenance is an ongoing concern new or used.
