As for cost, depreciation, and buying used, is that primarily in case we don't like it, or figure something out and realize we need to sell that one, and get something different? Makes sense. I've always been a little wary of used, though.
Yes, you may realize you don't like the RV life. (I doubt it).
But you may find out that you don't like the floor plan, want a larger bathroom, more kitchen counter space, etc..
Buying used will result in less of a depreciation hit if you decide to sell or trade.
If you're more comfortable buying new, that's okay. Just make sure everything is working before you buy. Being new does not mean it is trouble free.
Don't fall for the 'buy it today and we'll fix it tomorrow' tactics used by some dealers. Remember, their goal is to sell you something.
If you're not able or chose to not do the inspection, consider hiring a mobile RV Tech to do the inspection.
Don't listen to the dealer if they tell you they will inspect the unit. Do your own inspection.
I'm not saying all dealers are bad. Just do you homework.
