1st time buyer - 31 vs 35 ft trailer?
We are planning to get a 5th wheel trailer soon and are debating between a trailer that is 31 ft and one that is 35 ft length. It's our first time pulling a 5th wheel trailer so we are leaning to...

I went to the local Hideout dealer this afternoon. They have the trailer listed for $33k, retail of $45k. That price is consistent with other dealers in the general region. I tried negotiating down to $30k, but the most they would come down to is $32k. I countered with $31.5k and they wouldn't budge. What kind of discount is reasonable to negotiate? It's my first time buying a new trailer.
Hi guys - when I was deep into my negotiation I ended up leaving (as it sounds like you did) and went back (got about 2 miles down the highway and they called) when they gave me a couple hundred dollars off and a few hundred in product from their parts store (I used it towards a hitch and installation). If they let you leave without calling with lower numbers they are likely near their bottom line. I'm sure the dealer is also considering busy season is coming. I think I paid around 31.5K but that was 3 years ago. You're right at the point of a great deal for that unit. If it's local and you have the dealer to stand behind it I'd jump on it if it's really what you want.
