Buy used

First get the truck you think you will need. Get a one ton either swd or dwd and that should be enough...then get a hitch, like B&W...then you can go anywhere to look at a used unit, private sale or dealer. New have too many issues, lousy dealer support and poor mfg warranty. Many of the quality brands are no longer built, like Hitchhiker, Cameo, Teton...but others such as Airstream., Jayco, Mobile Suites have been acquired by one of the big three...
Winnebago, Forest River, or Thor...and these mfgs have focused on profit not quality. Especially Thor! Sales of RV's are declining and many good buys with 25 - 35 % discount from the inflated MSRP can be found. Even on used. Don't be afraid to negotiate. And remember, with a 10-15% discount, after you drive off the lot, you will already be under water!

Good luck.
