For me buying new was all about getting the exact unit I wanted with the exact features I wanted vs. settling for what was on the lot or what someone else I ordered or selected.
I was more interested in getting the exact colors,capacities,and options that I wanted vs. getting a bargain or avoiding depreciation
I agree problems are still problems new or used.
Used does not guarantee all the bugs are worked out. You maybe buying someone else's problems that they decided to unload.
On the other hand a new unit warranty is nice and does provide peace of mind.
however using the warranty can be challenging and is not as simple as it should be. New warranties can be another type of headache and are only beneficial if you encounter major or catastrophic repairs. Otherwise small items are easier to repair yourself.
If you have done your homework, know exactly what you want and are sure you are committed to RV life, buying new is OK.
