We liked the layout of the Pleasureway, so we bought another Pleasureway. A custom-build would have been interesting to get a more modern/unique look, but it was easier to just buy off the shelf from a proven manufacturer.
We bought our 2007 used and replaced it with a new 2014. We weren't initially sure we wanted to do that, but just for yucks we contacted several out of state dealers and said "Make it worth it for me to come all that way". Working both ends of the deal (trade-in plus new cost), a dealer in economically depressed Ohio bested the local boys by a whopping $35,000--and that's what made up our minds to trade up. It was too good a deal NOT to do.
Point is: don't be afraid to boldly negotiate. And, working a deal from a distance does have its advantages.
