Hello from Vermont, just about as far as you can get from Alaska. We recently retired and purchased a 2000 QD on craigslist from a nice couple in KY. We searched for six weeks on line and used this weblink
http://www.motorhomefinds.com/.....s-for-sale. We checked it daily and looked up every craigslist listing until we found the price range we could afford. We responded within 2 hours of the intial posting and we still were 2nd in line. The first couple couldn't get a loan so we lucked out.
It was a little nerve racking to make sure it was not a scam but sometimes you just have to trust people. The sellor's were as nervous as we were but after many telephone conversations, we sealed the deal. We are in love with the Rialta and had to cut our vacation short because of Super Storm Sandy. Can't wait to get her on the road again. Best of Luck.
