Thanks to all who posted and what a great source of knowledge and opinion this forum is.
I spent 26 years in the construction equipment business most of it in management on the retail side of the business and I do know the difference between a good deal and a good looking deal.
I bought the Tioga 25K (V-10 450)today and although I probably paid too much for it it is what I wanted. I played the dealer game and traded my '10 Rockwood 8285WS but I do not have to put up with tire kickers and loonies coming to my home during the sales process. I will sell my 'creampuff' (60K mi) '08 Silverado Allison Durmax xtended cab long bed and this will offset some of my cost as I 'bought this truck right'
I have a truck that has 3 yrs 50,000 mi warranty and a coach with 1 year warranty which I will use the heck out of so any deficiencies are evident under warranty.
I plan to enjoy this unit going to the 'Oprey (Nashville), Myrtle Beach as well as visiting relatives in Nova Scotia. I can now afford the ferry costs to go to Newfoundland.
So my philosophy is not to sweat the small stuff - Don't Worry Be Happy as I will never have to put water on my Cheerios. I know the sales manager is happy and the salesman is happy and I have the unit I wanted. Could I have ground out another reduction probably but I did not want to sit there all day or go back again as I have other things to do- that is not to say I have $ to burn but I am happy with the deal I made.
See you all down the road as I have my reservations made for Florida January 4 to February 16 and will do the rest of February and March as soon as the calendar (11 mos in advance)permits
Happy camping!
