AndrewM Report post Posted April 14, 2021 (edited) I joined FMCA before buying our 1st RV to be a more knowledgeable buyer. We are trying to work with a $150k budget for a slightly used Diesel Class A of about 38'. By reading RV Insider reviews (we are risk adverse) we are going to stay away from numerous brands such as Thor and Fleetwood and focus on Holiday Rambler, Monaco, Tiffin, and Newmar. I am starting to focus on 4-5 year old Holiday Ramblers at dealers with strong reviews and BBB ratings. Is this a good choice ? Are extended Warranties of value. A close friend is a mechanic and long time RV'er and will assist/ inspect the RV with us. Any advise and recommendations are welcomed !! Thank You in Advance.

wildebill308 Report post Posted April 15, 2021 Welcome to the forum. It is a good plan to be better informed when shopping for a RV. Something that may be as important is the dealer you work with. Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

aztec7fan Report post Posted April 15, 2021 Extended warranties are seldom worth it. A good roadside assistance will have more benefit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
