Both our RV's have been used. The first was a camper. Bought the camper privately used it for three years and sold it at a profit when child number two was born.
We then bought our current trailer from a dealer. Both units were less than two years old when we bought them. We saved many thousands off the new price. Both have been good to us. Regular maintenance and attention to all the usual areas of concern is essential.
I have been looking at new trailers with different bunk layouts as my children have grown in the last 6 years. Just can't justify the money they want for a new unit. When the trailer I want becomes available in great used condition I will buy it and save thousands again.
My advice is know what you want. Plan for future growth. Be patient. And be willing to travel to make the purchase. Do a thorough inspection before handing over any money.
