wow, wow, wow. thank you so much for this post. i recently retired and was doing research in prep to going full time RVing. after reading that article and listening to the referenced audio file from the lemon law lawyer i have deep 6'ed the whole idea. i almost walked into a nightmare. thank you again for saving me from such a headache.
That's a shame you cancelled your plans just because of this article. Many, many RVers have no issues or very minimal with their RVs when buying new. All you hear from are the complainers, not the satisfied ones which are millions.
You can purchase a late model used and have it checked out thoroughly by someone competent before buying. This is your best bet. By doing this you can get a more higher quality RV that you wouldn't be able to afford if buying new. New doesn't eliminate problems. Used in excellent condition means there have been no problems or they were repaired. There's absolutely nothing wrong in buying quality used.
RVing is not going away. It's been here for 100 years in good and bad financial times. I hope you change your mind as full-timing is an awesome lifestyle! We did it - trouble-free - for 16 years in two different 'quality' RVs.
