Many new RV's can be purchased for 35% off MSRP. So if you are buying a 2014 new unit when 2016's are hitting the lots, then in reality once you sign the papers you own a 2 year old unit.
Say for example the MSRP of the 2014 fiver or TT was $80,000.
In 2014 you should have been able to buy that for between $52,000 and $54,000 plus tax.
If you buy it in late 2015 (making it 2 years old) it may only be worth $35,000 or $40,000.
I'm not saying it is a bad idea, you just have to keep in mind what it will actually be worth the minute you tow it off their lot.
