@Jim pretty well hit the nail on the head!

In the end, a "fair price" is one that a willing selling seller and a willing buyer agree upon. IME, dealers pump up their prices pretty high and are willing to sit tight on them for a significant period of time. OTOH, a private seller may start with a similar high price, but is usually willing to move lower fairly quickly if an acceptable offer is presented. Many (if not most) private sellers are moving from one coach to another and have an incentive to get their coach sold quickly so they can pay for (or finance) the next one.

IMHO, the three key factors to be considered when evaluating a potential used coach purchase are condition, condition and condition! That includes tire and battery condition, overall coach exterior and interior condition and engine/transmission (power train) condition. If a potential buyer doesn't feel qualified to judge any of those aspects, hiring a qualified inspector is a very good option.
