BillAdams Report post Posted March 29, 2017 Personally, I would answer yes. You will lose so much on the depreciation the first few years it might surprise you. If you don't want to get one as old as you were originally thinking, at least give some serious thought to a similar unit a couple of years old. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jleamont Report post Posted March 29, 2017 Roland, I agree with Bill A. New is better in something's in my opinion RV's in todays world isn't one of them. Especially after the economy crash a few years ago, the quality hasn't bounced back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indyspecracer Report post Posted March 29, 2017 Roland, My opinion is clearly biased as my research led me to a 2007 Newmar MAPD. That being said, one of the main drivers for me was the differences in sidewall construction. Newmar is one of the few brands that do not use laminated sidewalls. A leak in a coach that has laminated sidewalls can end up being really expensive if delamination occurs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
