Hi, joe, If I missed out on welcoming you, here is my "howdy"! I have been checking RV sales online for over a year and it seems that the 'snowbird' states are the places where I see the most RVs for sale, and at better prices. Those states being AZ, TX and FL, with TX and AZ seeming to have a bit more. Now as to your other questions, my thought is that it's like anything else. You take your chances when buying used. I would, however, check into what manufacturers have gone/are going out of business. Don't rely on a saleperson to give you this info, either. Once a manufaturer goes out of business, all warrantees are no longer valid. You would have to buy an extended warranty from another source, like Good Sam's. Just my 2 cents worth!

Sometimes, the only right answer is silence...which in and of itself speaks a thousand words.

Joe One thing to remember in these turbulent times with RV manufacturers is that most use common components. Heaters, faucets, water heaters, fridges, stoves, jacks, windows, roof vents, etc. are all made by the same handful of mfgs. If you buy a used rig all of those components will still be taken care of by their respective mfg. If you buy a rig from a mfg who is out of business (I just did....) I think the biggest risk is that if you have an accident and need to replace an end cap, as an example, those pieces are generally specific to each rig. The flat panels are easily replaceable, but things that have been molded are going to be dicier. I just can't have an accident...... :) To new adventures! Kerry
