One thing to consider if buying new is that some dealers only service units that were bought from them. Almost all RV dealers give service preference to units bought from them. I bought my first TT out of state and what a mistake that was. Getting service was a nightmare and I live in a large metropolitan area. If I needed something done in May, when I de-winterized, I couldn't get an appointment till basically the camping season was done in the fall. I imagine the same thing applies to used units too. If you are a handy type that helps a lot. I've seen posted where lots of folks just fix things themselves even though they are in their warranty period because of service appointment delays. If you have a used unit or out of warranty unit being handy is a real lifesaver. I've always been real handy but I cannot do anything anymore because of back and arthritis problems. Fortunately the handy man I now use for the house works on almost all my TT problems. Getting him over here is a lot quicker and a whole lot cheaper than a RV dealer.
