A funny thing happen last night

Years ago when we got our 1st pop up we were looking at travel trailers while we waited for our pdi, the salesman asked if we picked our next one out already and when we told him what we liked he said we would need a better tow vehicle in order for them to sell us it. Kind of gave me a good feeling that they were not just in it for the sale.

You hear the horror stories of salesmen saying anything to get the sale, so it is good to hear that there are ones out there willing to give up the sale to keep from killing anyone.

Before Lazy Days in Tucson Arizona would sell a FW to me, they checked the towing capacity, payload and axle ratings of my truck. They recorded the info, and then proceeded with the sale once they were confident that I had the capability to safely tow it. I was very happy to see that.

Lazydays in Tampa did the same with me.

Thanks for posting, it is good to hear.

Had back in 2004 when we ordered our trailer the salesman asked what is the size of your truck that you are going to use to tow the trailer? We told him a 2000 Kenworth T600, 430 hp. He didn't think we would have any problems towing the trailer. He was right. :B

Great to hear. I had the same experience a few years ago where a dealer checked out our TV and advised they could not sell us a particular model recreation vehicle due to weight.
It is my understanding that Ontario has legislation which places liability on any dealer for selling mis-matched combo's .

Someone posted years ago 'what was the best story about shopping for a RV?'

They had been sitting in a RV while looking at them - I guess summer with all the windows open, and heard the salesman next door state "Sure your Explorer can tow this 28' trailer, I see you have the optional V8!"

IT is good to know that they will not deliver a 38' fifth wheel to a person with a F-150 to tow it. I see that your signature includes a F-350. That is a very good thing!

Have fun camping!
