finding the right used fifth wheel

It is frustrating finding the right used 5er. We had gotten to the point that we were just going to stay with the TT we had and then finally found "the one". It may even be the last one if I build DW some counter space. It was at a small 4 dealer local show, and had people all over it. We got the money out first. Hit ebay and local craigs lists every day, they come and go so fast. This clicky can be helpful, but as it is not a direct link a lot of the items can be gone already. Start a relationship with a sales person at the big boys around the country and hope they remember to keep in touch if they see something. Myrtle Beach should be a good hunting ground, or the Tampa St Pete area of Florida. Don't fixate on making a "deal" but rather finding the right one. There may only be one, and while you are trying to get the guy down $500 somebody else comes along and snaps it up. Also, never buy anything sight unseen. Pictures can be deceiving without the seller even trying. Don't be afraid to knock on doors if you see a model you want. They may want to sell it even though there is not a sign on it. If you RV now, ask people at campgrounds, they may want out. You'll find the right one if you are patient. The patience part was killing me :).
