First Time Buyer...Updated 03/06/2006

I am a first time RVer. I have a couple of suggestions. The research that you want to look for and go through from floor plans and manufacturers are easily assesible through your computer. My wife and I have several RV dealerships here in town. I looked them up to see what manufacturers they carry and I check each of them through their websites. Then you can go and check them out in person. Look them over inside and out then test drive. My wife and I compledted our research to narrow down to 2 manufacturers. Bounder and Turbo Bounder 37U, which is Fleetwood. The other is the Journey manufactured by Winnebago. I did some research and sent email to every dealer accross the US to get the best quote. A dealer in Montana had the best qoute and they don't charge sales taxes. That's a sevings of over $10,000 just in taxes yet alone in the price of the RV. I have found out that some have option which increase the price and others have them standard. Instead of driving everywhere do your reseach through the internet.
Jt, you did a good job, sorry, I was already ahead of you before I read it.
