If I was buying used, there are two things I would examine closely - the roof and floor. Check every square inch of the floor for softness and see if it appears to have been replaced. Check the roof for tears, and look closely at the end seams for broken caulk.
RV's depreciate quickly in the first couple of years. You can save a lot of money going that route.
I hear ya on the roof, that's what I'm dealing with now. I'm paying the price for not doing what I wanted too do 9 years ago which is making a gravel parking spot and having a metal RV carport too store it under, in fact I've started the project just 9 years too late.

Thanks for the tips, you guys have been awesome which comments and idea's.
