I believe that for RV's as well as cars, used is the way to go because of depreciation. You really don't give up much and the premium for new is too high just to get a warranty. Dealers will try to get you to believe that a new one is the about the same price. However, the posted price on a used one will be way higher than they will take, especially without a trade-in. That is, if you compare a used one with a nearly identical new one. Take for example a Toyota Camry. If the true price on a new one is $20000, no one would buy a 2 year old one for same price. They might ask $19500 but actually sell for $15500. Same with RV's. I would just make a real low offer and you might be surprised.
