I canceled the deal. Seriously bummed, but it's the right thing to do, even at $9900.
Here in Florida, used Class B motorhomes go for crazy high prices, especially to first time RV buyers who think they will be easier to drive and get better fuel mileage.
In most cases, and older Class B will get 12-13mpg, will have a very small fridge, almost no storage, and will have minimal sleeping accomodations.
But if you look at shorty Class C's, you can get a whole lot more for your money. Newer, with fewer miles, more room inside, a large fridge and freezer, and a real bathroom. You do lose about 2 mpg compared to a B, but you get a lot more room inside.
You mentioned the B you looked at was priced at $9,900. Here's an example of what you can for about the same price in a shorty C.

I found several in this price range in the Ft Myers, Tampa area Craigslist . . .
