Buy a used 2417 or new 2518?

[cire74]

Hey everyone..

I have narrowed my search for a TrailManor to a used 2417 or a new 2518. The used 2014-2015 2417s seem to be going for around $18-20k, which surprised me. Part of me wants to just get a new one since I am financing anyway and the payment wouldn’t be much different at $30k with a decent down payment.

My concern with a new 2518 is that warranty service would be too far from my home (800+ miles each way) and I’ve read about having to take new RVs back one or more times for warranty service and having to leave it for weeks at a time.

I have only owned used RVs before. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for any replies.
