There is one site that sometimes people go to by accident, like I did when I listed the one I am trying to sell. I went to RVT.com, thinking it was RVTrader, but it wasn't. You might find some better deals there however, so don't count it out. The good thing about my mistake is that the listing is there forever until I sell it, while RVTrader has to be paid for every 6 or 9 months, I don't remember which.
I was getting more traffic on RVTrader when I was there for a while. I may go back again here pretty soon as the season picks up.
Stories abound regarding poor QC by the manufacturer, that coulda/shoulda/woulda been caught during a pre-delivery inspection. IF the buyer was capable/diligent enough to check everything thoroughly. To do an inspection correctly will take 3-6 hours depending on the RV. If you can do that yourself, then great. But if you can't, or don't want to, then hiring a professional is MUCH better than just leaving it to chance.
These aren't cars built by robots on half-billion-dollar assembly lines with integrated computer-controlled quality checks; they're hand built, as fast as possible, by workers who may or may not be skilled at the tasks they are performing or being paid enough to care.
