We were looking at a used travel trailer in Michigan. It had a huge split in the linoleum. I thought for the heck of it I would ask the salesman how that could happen. He said someone caught their toe on it and ripped it. I said ok and continued to look at the TT. As we continued I had to explain to him how the antenna, water system and a few other things worked.
He pretty much conceded that he didn't know anything about it and had gotten the job because he had retired and his wife was still working and she didn't want he sitting at home so she got him a job at the RV lot that the sister in law owns.
Across the street at the Jayco dealer the owner and another salesman explained to me how it's normal to have gaps and openings under the RV. They laughed and said yes, it's normal for insects and mice to get in, that's just part of camping.
At one point years back we were looking a small tandem axle TT and wanted to keep the weight down. The salesman said I could hook that TT up and get ready to leave and there wont be more than 300 lb added to the whole set up. He said a person usually takes no more 150 pounds of stuff per person. Geez, just the equ hitch was probably 75 lb or more.
At the time my wife knew nothing about Rv's but we got in the car and said that guy is an idiot.
Goofballs.
