As far as value goes, once we really looked in to new motorhomes in our price range ($200k range) and compared to used Newells and even those pesky Prevosts in the same price range there was simply no question as to value and quality. Not to offend anyone, but I do not understand why anyone would buy a new motorhome in the $150k-$200k up to even $400k range other than maybe cosmetics.

And if it's strictly cosmetics buy a used one and spend a little updating carpeting, fabrics, etc and it will look newer that you can imagine. We put new carpet in my newell along with a few minor fixes and changes and it easily looks 5 years newer. As far as engine power/quality, water/heating systems, build quality etc compared to new that's where the value of buying used blows the water out of new in this price range. Simply no comparison.
