TC - New vs Extreme Makeover
A new member here. I have never owned a TC but ready to jump in. I have an F450 on order and am considering an EC 1200 or Mammoth. The question I have is new vs. used. A Mammoth for example is $65...

It appears from my research that values depreciate maybe 15% the first year, and 7% to 8% each year after that (I am referring to used, not new that are one model year later). I have not yet spent the necessary time to evaluate used campers, but it would seem with a quality manufacturer, that to get a five year old TC, and update the look, I might get value in doing so.
I understand the resale would not ever reflect this, but a camper for my use only, it seems viable. Or maybe just a couple years old would be better.
I will definitely look for moisture. Appliances, electronics, and electric systems, I would change out, working or not. I am particularly wondering if improvements to jacks and slides have been so substantial in the past few years that perhaps something new or newer would be better.
