It’s yours! No one else’s. No foot traffic. Everything is brand new. No stains. New camper smell (which sorta stinks).
Warranty.
You can have it built to your specifications. You get to pick which ugly ass wallpaper you want. What ugly ass fabrics you want. Somewhat customize-able. Upgrade A/C, rims, awning, etc.
You don’t inherit someone else’s problems. Sort of. You’ll inherit the manufacturer's faults. But you’ll have a camping-ready, no immediate outside use costs.
(Having purchased a brand new rig, I’m somewhat jaded. It was a decent experience. But it seems like all new rigs have some malfunction. Maybe the oven doesn’t work. Water heater malfunctions. Etcetera. The first trip or two is an adventure finding out what works and what doesn’t.)
Cons
Unless you pay cash, you’ll have that payment.
Depreciation. (Reddit)
Cons
It's overpriced and will depreciate 25% when you take it off the lot, and 25% again the first year you own it.
The dealership that will stand behind it is rare. Most will point out that each device in the RV has its warranty from its manufacturer.
The manufacturer that will stand behind it is rare; see above.
Warranty work often takes weeks or months; meanwhile the warranty clock ticks.
Most manufacturers build as cheaply as possible; even some high-priced class A's are poorly framed.
You get to work out or work through all the "bugs" that are almost invariably built into new RVs.
Pros
It smells good and looks shiny.
As you can tell, I believe in buying used and buying offseason, preferably from an owner who has already absorbed all the depreciation and fixed most of the problems.
Good luck to you! (Reddit)
