I look for deals on Craigslist because occasionally there is a legit add that is reasonable. But many are scams looking for email addresses or worse, to defraud, and a lot lost at stupid high prices. And as was stated earlier, if it looks too good to be true, it is.
FaceBook market place (much as I dislike Face Book) is better because you can look at the sellers page and get a feel for who you are dealing with.
But for any serious RV search I focus on RVT.com and RVTrader.com for a lot of reasons, not just because they are legit adds. You can fine tune parameters in the “custom Search” sections, save searches, save adds, get email alerts, etc. Much better way to shop.
I made a couple custom searches and waited almost a year for a 2016 Ventana 3427 to come up for sale. Finally two became available the same week, one on each site, so I actually had a choice, but without custom searches and email alerts I would have missed my “perfect coach”.
