Confusion on best time to buy Class A

It may be just me, but for us the best time to buy is when you find a rig that suits your needs at a price you believe to be fair.

We have only been looking for about 4-5 weeks so it's somewhat difficult for us to determine whats a fair price. I guess being rookies, that's why we aren't sure if we should wait til later in the winter and look further in the southern US. So I guess we just need to keep shopping to get a grasp on what Class A's seem to sell for.

I'll admit I got a great deal in Laughlin, NV and took delivery in Bullhead, AZ but I'm not sure I would drive all the way there thinking I was going to get a deal. I was on vacation and just happened to see a MH we liked.

If you have an RV and it is getting cold in Michigan take a fun trip out to Quartzsite in Jan. Of course you will probably never want to go back to Michigan. I haven't lived in Muskegon since 1960.

The spring of the year is when the summer RVers buy. In the fall of the year is when the Snowbirders buy.

In the fall, look for a summer RVer anxious to drop the expensive luxury item with winter coming on.

I buy when I have the cash for the purchase.

Pogoil.

Right now in Ohio, dealers are trying to clear their 2014 inventory for the winter. When they have their RV sales in January, it will also be clearance and newer 2015 models. You can always make your deal anytime of the year. I bought one on New Year's eve and did well as they wanted to end the year with a quota target...

I have a suspicion that there is no ideal time unless you are buying a new rig from a dealer. Even then, ideal may be subjective.

You might find more selection of rigs in the South, Southwest and West because that is where more of them are used year round. Plus a lot of Northern rigs are in the SW during the snowbird season.
