Negotiating a Purchase
My hubby and I are buying a new TT this year. If you factory order a TT, do you lose bargaining power? if so, does it make sense to buy what is on the lot and add options later?

One more thing, yes or no to thermo pane windows. I don't care about noise. I'm more interested in the insulation factor.
A big YES to dual pane windows - for noise, heat, cold and less condensations issues.
You're interested in a travel trailer and don't know if the new issue of 'Trailer Life' has the same article or not but I just finished a very good article in 'Motorhome' magazine on buying direct from the factory and it states there is a definite savings in doing so. You could look up the article online.
Ourselves, we bought a Newmar and were able to do much custom work to it. When it was all detailed by the Newmar factory we then sent our same specs/options to about 20 dealers throughout the country. As full-timers we didn't care where we bought it. The one that came in cheapest got our check and there was a big range of prices. Our motorhome was then ordered as a custom from the factory through the dealer at -30%. It was a very easy way to purchase with no haggeling.
