I bought my RV new four years ago. I found when looking at used people take very good care of them or they don't. Used ones can sit for years, which we all know is bad for mechanical things. I start mine every few week, and run the A/C, generator, etc. and move it a few feet to keep the tires round. I also change the oil in the engine and generator every Summer. The financing sold me on buying new, 3.25% versus 6% from my credit union on a used one.
Came with a one year bumper-to-bumper warranty, didn't have anything go wrong other than a few cabinets hinges/latches coming loose. 18 months after buying a dash A/C quit and it cost me a few hundred to have a RV repair place figure out that they'd left a viton O ring out of one hose when Coachman put the dash in.
Four years later, and 10,000 miles, no issues at all. I use it about every six weeks.
Yeah, the mfgr. or his agent, owns the inventory I think. The dealer I bought from near Disneyland went BK a year or two after I bought.
