Great advice. Thanks everyone! And the pplmotorhomes link is excellent!
ppl is a very helpful website. In fact, when I was in the market, I flew to Houston to look at a few decently priced rigs (with ppl appearance ratings of very good or better ) that looked pretty attractive on the web. Once I toured them, I knew why they were still on the lot; each one had problems evident even to a newbie (smoke odor, mildew odor, water intrusion stains, for example). I had not called ahead, so I do not know if ppl would have told me of these issues had I called and asked. None of the multiple units on ppl's lot below $70k appealed to me once I toured that day. So I went to other dealers and found our Itasca. Though their inventory quality left much to be desired that day, I am grateful to ppl for their pricing transperancy (especially the list of "sold prices") and for giving me a reason to go to TX to rv shop.
