Then use some of those savings to upgrade the rig’s suspension, new “H” tires, Big-Foot Levelers, solar – things like that. What I am saying is, if you know how to choose a “used rig” and are willing to refurb it a little, you can save $50,000+ in a heartbeat. There is little unique or special in the area of accessories. In general – most rigs in the middle price class were all built with the same equipment – AC units – heaters – stoves – hot water heaters - from two or three vendors at the most. If you are willing to fix things that will go bad from age, like the refrigerator and AC units, etc. You need to be careful and check the things that are deal killers: Things like, but not limited to: roof condition – evidence of leaks – tires – holding tank(s) condition - suspension – “does everything work?” Not an exhaustive list by any measure. It’s been fun as a little hobby and those people have become friends. The results have been very good and they have saved a LOT of money. I’ve now had experience with helping people purchase a number of “used” 5ers and travel trailers and trucks. Something(s) is always defective on a new rig - or will be. You know, and yes you could say I am biased by looking at the sig although we bought our rig new, but in some cases newer isn’t necessary to get good or even reliable.
