When I bought mine, it was a used 2 YO unit, but in new condition, the only thing it needed work on was the seat back for the dinette was a bit loose. I compared it to an exact model that was brand new, and with a price difference of $3,000, I asked, why would I not buy new? The saleman was quite honest, because there is also a $3,000 shipping and prep fee.
If you can find a nice used unit, it can save quite a bit in new fees and such, but buying new also means, you are the first to use it, and that can mean a lot too. I have bought a few used cars, and had too many issues, so started buying new, and haven't looked back. The downside is, if the new vehicle isn't up to par, your kind of stuck with it unless you want to lose a ton of cash.
