Working retail sales with a commissioned based salary is a high turn over occupation. It is a very rare occurrence to find someone on the sales staff that actually owns or did own a rig of some type and their experience out in the woods is beyond Scouting 30 years earlier. For most of us owners our rigs are a labor of love or hobby. Turn the hobby into a job takes the fun out of it. Some can do such as a camp host but those individuals are not as common as we wish.
I had a salesman at a major PNW RV operation who did actually own an RV. He was showing me the stock, then looked around, reached inside his jacket and pulled out a photograph. ( I thought that is was going to be porn by the guilty look on his face). It was a photograph of his MH that he wanted to sell, he said it was much better and cheaper than anything here, and wanted me to go to his home to view it later. A real quality guy.
