Agree.

Do NOT buy from a dealer.

If you are also selling your current one, try now, With fuel cost still rising, and a likely glut in the future, best off to move your unit now. As to brands, start with Grand Design, KZ, Jayco, Winnebago, and then the upper end units from Gulfstream and the rest. The four I mentioned seem to have loyal followings, indicating something must be right about them. (or at least less wrong)
West coast brands Arctic fox, Lance, ORV are hard to find on the east coast. And generally will draw a premium price if you do run across one.

Biggest suggestion is to hire someone to do a pre-purchase inspection. It's a good idea for any RV but especially a used one. As Steve Lehto says he has folks come into his office wanting to sue over a defective product that they had inspected after having issues with it and with used vehicles or RVs he has to tell them they did things in the wrong order, inspect then buy.

My number one suggestion would be to hold off on buying anything for a little bit.

We are headed for one of the biggest gluts in the supply of RVs that most of us have seen in our lifetimes.

It's not here yet - prices are still ridiculously high - but it's coming.
