What is the buying procedure?

That is why I posted to buy used. After much haggling back and forth between the dealership sales staff and hubby and me, we finally got to a reasonable level over 1/2 value.
and #5.....what you buy is going to be contingent upon your tow vehicle and what you feel comfortable towing.
#6. The dealership service has been excellent...and the only lies is by omission, which is the price the dealership pays for a unit. One can find those prices on the internet.
does not matter what your tow vehicle is, I had my 5th wheel delivered to site 706 at fort wilderness than bought the F350 DRW to tow it when it was time to leave. the point I was making was I have bought 6 in the past 5 years due to not buying big enough to start with. as far a service yes since yours is used and has no factory warranty, service will be great, they do not get 120/hr from the manufacturer. As far as lies somewhere in the course of the sale you were lied to , its just part of the sale, one of the most honest sales people I have ever met and the one who sold me 4 of those 6 RV's has lied to me and others.
