Advice when you can't find model you are looking for locally

First Titanium we bought that was a resonable price was in Dayton Ohio. We live on the west coast of California. Flew to Dayton, booked a motel room near the airport, rented a car and looked at the trailer. Bought it and had it shipped to us.

Second one was in Mihigan, same drill only no motel or car rental as the seller picked me up and returned me to the airport., red eye there, afternoon plane back.

Who says RVing isn't an adventure.
