Hey Folks! I've been lurking for a little while, trying to soak up some knowledge. DW and I are getting ready to start looking for our first travel trailer. I've done some research, and have decided that we want an aluminum framed, fiberglass exterior unit, around 25 feet or so. I don't want to spend a fortune, around 10-12K.
Our initial plan was to go to several dealerships, and do a lot of looking before we purchased. Problem is, DW fell in love with a 2010 Coachmen Freedom Express 245 RKS which was on the first lot we looked at. The asking price is 16k.
I want to keep looking, but DW wants this TT yesterday. I feel like this unit would be a good deal at 12k. Any advice?
Wow. Consider yourself lucky. Usually it takes 20 dealerships and weeks on end for the DW to find that 'just right' layout.
If you want to keep looking based solely on the price and DW wants it because she really likes the layout......go back and start beating up that dealership till you get to the price you want to buy it at. JMHO!
