I appreciate your input. Most of the ones I hope to see are in the Houston location, though I'd be willing drive to one of the other locations if need be...I am motivated to find the right starter unit.

A STRONG suggestion. You will learn a tremendous amount by being present for a mechanical inspection by a good inspector. A written report can tell you what is wrong. In person you can discuss what needs to be done and when and also whether this is something that you want to do or hire out. And, you can actually see that abraded hose that needs to be replaced. Kind of difficult to put that in a written report.
SO, for out of town purchases, here is my recommendation:
1. Come to agreement on price and outside date for consummation of the deal with the deal SUBJECT TO INSPECTION AND TEST DRIVE SATISFACTORY TO BUYER TO BE DONE BY XX DATE.
2. Look over the coach and make sure it meets your other requirements (very hard for an inspector to do a "sniff test" for you, and if you are allergic to cats and they had cats, that is important to you.
3. Schedule and attend the inspection-- wear old clothes and look at the coach through the eyes of the inspector.
4. If major issues found, renegotiate the price/bail on the deal. OR, hopefully drive off in your "new to you" coach.

so as to have the life that is waiting for us.

You might want to find other RV dealers in the area depending on the time you have to look around. I was thinking of a trip to that area but the dealer (http://www.bestpreownedrv.com/) had already sold the RV I was interested in.

I found using RV Trader to search nationwide found us the best deal on our new unit. We live by Reno NV, the coach we found was in L.A. We were able to negotiate a $250 delivery charge and, after sending the dealer pictures of our coach, were able to agree on a trade in value (dependent on the delivery man's inspection to make sure we weren't lying) so he was able to drive ours back. The logistics might not work out so well for you but RV Trader saved us many thousands of dollars over the other places we looked. Think of picking up the RV as a mini vacation..
