Weeding out the so called B+ it looks like there are hundreds of used Class B's on RV Trader alone.
There are over 50 Roadtreks on Roadtrek International

On one sales site, someone said there there were something like 450 Roadtreks for sale. As new sales increase, more used Class B's will become available, and prices will have to drop, do to more supply, less demand. I think the market is already reacting to this, owners are finding that they are having to lower their price to make a relative quick sale. I think competition among sellers is maybe the highest it's ever been for Class B's. There are some great deals out there, and will be more in the next few years.
What a "B" sells for, not what it's listed, or appraised at, is all the really matters. Times are a changin. jmo.
Winter is the worst time to sell, and the best time to buy, so if your looking for a "B" nows the time.

Class Bs also hold their value, for all the reasons above, so when it comes time to sell, assuming good standards of maintenance, you recoup a greater percentage of your initial purchase than you would with most A or C units.
I've seen used 06 Sprinters recently online with same asking price that we paid three years ago. Hard to know if they'll get what they are asking. But Mercedes Diesel engines are just getting warmed up and raring to go at 75,000 miles.

Reasons for high price:
Higher demand than availability for used units
Low production rate
Custom fit of cabinets and other components
Exchange rate makes Canada made items higher (Roadtrek, Pleasureway, etc)
Hopefully the new Ford and Chrysler vans will help drive the basic cost of the van down over time. Also, if more US based manufacturers get into making B's that will help. But for now, prices are high.

To each his own I guess. I wouldn't mind having one for a quick short get-away, but they are too much for too little in my opinion.

I'm sorry folks, but there is no way that anyone can justify the extreme class B prices, even with the points mentioned.
