We bought what we thought was our retirement motor home in 1999 after we stated out in 1978 and had owned 4 used motor home. In 99 we traded in a 86 or 13 year old motor home. We had 3 Dodges (318, 413, and 440) and one Chevy (454) We ordered at an RV show (Ford with a V-10) and got a lemon (box not the chassis). Was so bad that we were able to have it returned to the factory for repair and they flew us to the factory to pick it up. My wife said they delivered a kit to the dealer for him to assemble.
in 2002 we decided to take the plunge again and order a DSDP and unloaded the 1999. It was probably a decent rig by then as we had worked out all of the problems except the side was still cutting the carpet.
The 02 is a Newmar and it is still sitting outside with a little over 82,000 miles on it. We are slowing down and will take one of two more long trips before getting out of the RV business. The DSDP is our only pusher (Cat)and has been relatively trouble free and always has gotten us home.
Based on what you have said I suggest you purchase used.
