The resale market for conversions is so screwed up, it makes so much sense to buy used. If you could pick that rig up at $112,000 you'd have a steel. The freaken truck alone is $72,000 and with 12,000 miles that truck has not even started to break in.

What is baffling me is why so many buyers are dumping out after just 1 or 2 years. I just wonder how many buyers are jumping in without realizing that these are Semi Trucks with a motorhome and not a luxury diesel pusher. They also have a longer wheel base and horrendous turning radius compared to pushers.

Anyway, love the floorplan it is similar to mine w/o the rear slide.
