Thank you all for the excellent advice! I have not thought about shopping in the southern states even tho we do go down to Gulf Shores Ala. and Florida. Guess I was thinking of the convenience here.
Yes I do live in the Rust Belt and it is a problem.
As for getting a trailer, I would have to get a tow vehicle and since I am still working need a good 4x4 gas car (Subaru).
We have gone from a tent to a pop-up to a 20ft.travel trailer to a Class C MH. Now after years of not camping, would like to get back into it with a class A MH pulling our Saturn Vue.
Will keep looking.
I think that most RV owners around here are going to see that they can't sell there MH at the price there asking and will eventually lower to a more reasonable price.
The last coach that I bought was down here in Florida from an owner that lived in Maryland. He bought a new coach at LazyDays and did not like the trade-in value they offered him. He decided to sell his coach on his own. After SIX months he could not find anyone willing to pay his price. I happened to be looking for his rather unique coach and made a cash offer. His wife turned it down and he was on the fence about it. I left. A week later he called me back and we closed the deal. To get out from under the second coach and the second loan, he had to write a check for $9000 over and above the price I paid, just to satisfy his loan. In the long run, it was the best and only decision that he could make. Total sales price at the time was about 20% below the low retail NADA price for a very low mileage coach in like new condition. Eventually the prices will come down, if not from the owner, then from the bank that repos it.
