The D/W said after looking for a year and a half, let's change our tactics and foregone ideas... We went for our favorite floor plan in the newest coach we could find and the best features we could afford, then waited to pounce on the best opportunity, while searching every single source...
We ended up with a 2015 Miramar 34.2 w/ 10k miles. Previous owners traded for something much bigger when they became pretty much full timers. But while they had it they upgraded to new TVs, radios, fantastic fans in all areas, solar (tho they took the panels but kept the wiring) & satellite... And more! In great condition for under 80k! Right place, right time... Gas, yes, but the must haves didn't come in a diesel pusher. Yes, I wish I had a little more power, sure. But this sleeps 8 and does 65 on the freeways without flinching and... has an outdoor kitchen (1 of those must haves). We did buy the Compass warranty, premium no deductible one, and in two weeks of ownership the inverter went out. Boom! $900 repair/replace but no out of pocket. Advise: know what you want, don't buy new, let previous owners go thru "RV fever" upgrading and then you benefit when they decide on something newer. (Statics say RV owners change vehicles about every 4 years). Best of luck.

That's the way to do it! Enjoy!
