I have heard as much. My suggestion (and many, many others' as well) is to buy used. We used RV Trader. We bought from a private seller in California. (Flew out, brought it back to Texas. Maybe we were lucky, but the unit was in such wonderful shape. In addition, we got about $10K worth of solar we wanted, but weren't expecting. (And in our case, we bought their F350 Dually, too! With just 7800 miles on it. And the rig's generator only had about 90 hours.)
All RV's have issues. Period. Seems to be a fact of life. But buying a USED RV means that a lot of issues might have been worked out already, handled by a dealer or shop.
Also, regardless of whether you buy new or used and from a dealer or a private seller, get an independent inspection. We used
https://nrvia.org/ and I would recommend you definitely do this. They will look for all the hidden stuff that neither a dealer nor a private seller will tell you.
Those are my two cents!
