We have bought 4 different RV's, 2 were used and purchased from locals and the other 2 from dealers. I have been the negotiator of all the pricing. I did LOTS and LOTS of research and knew the numbers of all of the options that I am interested in and will pay for. You should be able to "google" the model you want and check out pricing all over the US. Factor in travel to/from wherever to pick it up and THERE is your price. Unless you only get a week of vacation, treat your travel to pick it up as your vacay and camp your way back home.
Our last 2-RVs were purchased 700 miles and 300 miles away from home. There was no warranty work needed on the first one during the first year and on the last one, we did need some, so we drove up, dropped it off, spent a couple days with my sister, picked it up and drove back home. We do most small repairs, so we only need warranty work if it is a big job. We have found that most mobile RV technicians can do a better and quicker job than most dealers.
Put your best price firmly in your mind and start contacting dealers.
