We, too, had to buy used as the price of new was out of our budget. We bought a used 2003 just this spring. Things we looked for were the condition of the inside and outside (was it treated gently), mileage, maintaince records (the former owner had a folder full), and of course how it ran when we test drove it. We did buy on our first look-see as we drove 400 miles to look at the vehicle. We then had our mechanic go over it after we got home. Our first trip our was over 5,000 miles and it performed well. Only two minor problems including a blown tire that can happen anytime.
Ideally we should have taken it to a mechanic before we bought, but that wasn't possible. The maintaince records kept by the former owner were a big plus.
We did buy from a private seller, not a dealership. You can buy used and get a good RV.
We did look at another used RV and did some homework first and found that recommended tires were no longer available for that model and year. So we passed on that one.
