I don't know why anyone would be afraid of a private seller. You can purchase an extended warranty for just about anything out there if you're willing to pay for it. When I listed my Winnebago Vista for sale by owner, 90% of the calls I received were from dealer representatives offering low ball prices. I ended up selling it for $19,000.00 more than my best dealer offer and the selling price was $10/15,000.00 lower than I could find listed by any dealer. My buyers got a great unit with absolutely nothing wrong with it at a great price. They were looking at dealer units before they purchased mine. I have never bought a used RV from a dealer and never got burned. There is such a huge savings in buying private that you can't go wrong if you do your homework. I do agree however to check all service records, have it inspected, and run a car fax.
