Am I Getting Ready to Buy A Lemon?
Hey Everyone, Newbie forum member here, getting ready to take delivery of my first RV Friday of this week and just joined to try and get info about the new family experience my family is getting ready...

Just curious. You can head north or south, traveling nearly the exact same distance, 620 miles +/- from your location to Buffalo NY, or to the Orlando/ Ft. Myers corridor.
Down south, you will find thousands of motorhomes, and great weather to shop. There are dozens of dealers, some are huge, and have hundreds of rigs on the lot. There are also countless smaller dealers, Class A's are on used car lots, parked at grocery stores with for sale signs in the window, and Craigslist has hundreds of listings. Pretty much 10,20 maybe 30 times what you are going to find in upstate NY in the middle of winter.
Up north, the dealer you are in the process of buying from has a hand full of rigs, in one of the worst winter locations in the lower 48. A quick search of any customer review for this dealer makes it clear that it's a great place to avoid. Oddly enough, there is no shortage of high pressure, multi location dealers in this region, with less than honorable reputations, but that's another matter. The used coach you want bears a striking resemblance to one from the same area, that the another member here described as a lemon that he desperately needs to dump. If you do end up purchasing this rig, you are 14 hours away, and have zero recourse if, and when, it becomes evident that you are now stuck with a piece of junk.
Returning to the question you posted on your thread title........... the answer is yes.
