Some folks go through the "buy used first" routine, upgrade later to something they think they know they need, and still find something wrong or missing.
We tend to shop around for a long time, compare makes/models, then buy based largely on floorplan. We actually purchased our current coach knowing that it had most of what we wanted, but lacked something; We later remodeled to make the change/addition we needed. There's no real reason to buy another RV just because what you purchased doesn't have something you later find you need.
One exception might be buying an RV without slides, then later deciding you need them. Some friends and forum members went through this. I pleaded with them to buy a coach with slides, but they insisted they didn't need them; It didn't take too long fulltiming with a huge dog to realize they didn't have a lot of room to move.
