They are much easier to buy than to sell.
Not if you're looking for a quality Class C, such as a Lazy Daze or Born Free. All RV's are not created equal. The majority of the well known RV brands are designed mainly for recreational use, and not full-time living. I subscribe to the RV Travel Newsletter, put out by Chuck Woodbury, and a big topic in his publication recently has been the subject of poor design and build quality from the major RV manufacturers.
By contrast, Lazy Daze RV's have more solid wood frames than most of the others, with more wood, and more screws and fasteners to hold the whole thing together. The skins are made from aircraft grade aluminum. I used to follow a blog by a fellow called Tioga George. He didn't do his research properly before purchasing his used Fleetwood Tioga and consequently, much of his blog was about the latest repair efforts. He seemed to spend a significant portion of his time on the road repairing his rig. It was almost comic, though I have to say that he always approached the task du jour with enthusiasm and commitment. In one blog post, part of either the outer fiberglass skin, or the inner wall (I forget which) was flapping around, so he took it off in order to see what was underneath and re-secure it. He was shocked to find out how very few screws were holding that part of his rig together.
The better-built RV's are more solid, as well as having more insulation in the walls, for more comfort in a variety of year-round climates. They also tend to be better designed, in terms of the use of space inside. One big-brand RV model recently discussed in the RV Travel Newsletter has a problem with it's toilet effectively flushing solids. I forget the exact details, but it was a basic design issue, to do with the routing of the plumbing and/or relative level and location of the tanks. The layout had not been properly thought out before the model went into production. Quite amazing.
The above quoted statement by kitesurfer 2 may well be true for the major brand RV's but, although I do not yet own an RV, have done extensive reading and feel confident in saying that Lazy Daze RV's are easier to sell than to buy. New ones are ordered direct from the factory, for which there is about a 9 month wait. When quality used ones hit the market, they don't stick around for long, and you may have to be prepared to travel a few states over, or even across the country, to get the precise one you want.
I have focused on Lazy Daze, as it is the quality brand I know about. The same things are true for the other known well-built brands too. I repeat - all RV's are
not created equal.
I monitor a number of RV forums,.and I never hear anyone say they wish they stayed.in their comfortable S&B home.
I think that's for the same reason that you rarely hear people report in these forums how their particular investment/withdrawal scheme failed, and forced them to go back to work. They just mysteriously stop posting........
