In general focus on the PNW and mountain west states. That's where the vast majority of TCs are and also the right side of the country for you.
Personally I'd go private party. Can't trust a dealer anymore than Joe blow so why pay the premium. It's buyer beware anyway.
Craigslist seattle alone probably has 100+ TCs any given day. And if you know or can find a rvnet buddy to check it out first when you find the "one". That's a bonus.
But as much as it rains out there might that not be the best place?
I would imagine more chances of wood rot?
I would imagine the south west might be better?
But yes some states have higher popularity with truck campers than others...
Southern Ca. is not big with them.
Buyer beware everywhere. Dry rot, wet rot, faded fiberglass, crunchy stickers and vents/accessories. Depends how old and how it was stored.
I wouldn't want one that sat in the rain for ___years or in the blazing sun. Each causes it's own problems. These types of RVs are pretty disposable if treated like they're weather proof and not well maintained.
