Condition is the important factor when buying a used RV.
A low end unit in excellent condition is usually a better choice than a high end unit in poor-fair condition.
Be prepared to compromise on what you want.
Look at everything in you budget range, don't limit it to the make.
when you find something you like, concentrate on that make/model. But, be ready to make a compromise.
PPL Motorhomes is a good place to search, they have the floor plans on the advertisement, it will give you an idea without seeing the unit in person.
When you narrow it down to certain RV's, don't forget to check the tire age. RV tires usually age out before they wear out. You may find the right motorhome and then realize you need to buy new tires.
Use the search as a learning experience and ask lots of questions on the forum BEFORE you give the seller any money or sign any agreements.
Hire a RV tech to do the inspection if you feel you are not capable.
