So over the past several months been looking in to a small toy hauler looked at several recently drove 2 hours to gander mountain I had call about 2 units I’d like to see I get there apparently were to to busy to really go over things I still spent about hour an half looking over 3 toy haulers sales person took about 5mins tops to talk with us went to another dealer found what I think was the best fit for us looked it over asked questions all went well filled out a credit app an was told give me few days ? Seems I’m getting brushed off not sure why never purchased from a dealer is this normal tactics

Nope. For some reason you're not coming across as a serious buyer.

Did you make an offer? Did they run your credit report? Could be they didn't think you had enough credit to buy one, or they are just judging the book before reading it. Busy time of year so the sales person may just be picking the ripe fruit and dropping others. I'd say it's not worth your time but if they've run your credit you've taken a bit of a hit so you want to find out what's going on at least.

When we were purchasing our new trailer last year we found out how they're screening potential buyers. They send out their "greeter" who is a jr. salesperson. He then screens the potential buyer, if he/she thinks they're "serious" they go get the "expert" in that genre (ie Phil is an expert on fifth wheels, he can answer all your questions). You may never have got pas the greeter.

Were you solo or did you have your SO with you? I am guessing more times than not, if your solo they may think you are just shopping and not serious.

All the places we been had my two kids an my wife with me looking just seems like there not real interested in selling

This financial guy on an old pop-up forum I frequented said it best "pay cash for toys."
