If by used with low miles you are talking about a 2013, 2014, or 2015 model then you should probably consider it. If you are looking at 5 year and older models with low miles than I would agree with the Chance.

There are tons of reasons new owners trade in one or two year old low mileage units. Some examples have already been stated. In our case we found our 2014 with 3,200 miles (chassis 2014, coach 2015). Before we began negotiations I insisted on details from the dealer on why the original owner traded in, what maintenance isses he/she had, and what did they trade in for. They claimed there was not a history of major maintenance issues and the owner traded down to a small pull behind camper. They only camped one state north in the summer and winterized it to sit all winter.

So I got a unit for about 55% of original MSRP, which was still too much but I had a pretty new fiver for a trade.

I tend to always purchase vehicles new and keep them 3 to 4 years. I am the opposite with RVs, too big of a deprecation hit plus quality control issues.
