paying before trailer is here

at least swamp land is cheap in florida,you pay 150000 acre here,lol

I say go back to the bank and let them know that you are canceling the account before the window of cancelation runs out. And then go see the dealer and let them know you need to see the trailer and do a complete walk thru before purchasing. this is crazy why pay for something that you haven't seen or touch or tried out, if you can't cancel the account with the bank arrange it that payment be delayed until trailer acceptance. or if you don't go this route Aaaaa I have some swamp land in Florida I need to sell (just Joking).

I agree, and should be lesson learned.

When we purchased our used unit from Local CW,the 5er was about 250 miles away at another Camping World. They wanted us to sign the papers and pay then, we had not yet walked the unit, the answer was NO! We gave them a deposit to hold the trailer, I believe it was $500 or &1,000.
This was on a Tuesday, we drove to the CW in Burlington, WA. that Saturday. During our PDI we found a couple more items not seen in the pictures in the add and got another $500 of the asking price.

Keep in mind he who has the money has the power!!! Give the dealer your money early and you have just lost all your power!

I agree with no RV no signing loan papers.

Even my dealer was a bit miffed because my trailer needed some minor stuff before I took possession and I would not sign until it was ready to roll.

LOL Trlrboy! :)

I see you made a good down payment. Was the remainder to be secured with a lien on the RV?

If so, I like your bank.

They gave you a loan before the property that secures it was even built. That doesn't make any sense to me. Maybe your loan is unsecured? If not, do they have a VIN, title or certificate of origin?

I put $5,000 down on a MH February 23. It's being built, almost done. I made application for a loan, but that's it. When the MH comes in, we put $30K more down and write a finance contract for the rest. The bank we finally go with will write the loan with a lien on the MH as security.

How did you and your bank get the cart before the horse? The big question is, "Who has the MONEY?" Please don't tell me your dealer has been paid for an RV that they haven't even received from the factory. How does that happen? Too many things can happen between factory order and delivery.

Dealer or factory bankruptcy, RV burns en route, death of purchaser (sorry dude had to bring it up), I could go on and on.

Please explain.

What can we all say, Steve? Well... excuuuuuuuuuse me. :p

Yes, it's obvious that the OP probably made a mistake. However, I agree with Steve_Martin who said "The problem with our society today is anger."
