Hi,
1. What is the normal procedure at dealerships when inspecting a TT? Should I expect them to pull it out, open the pop ups, allow me access somehow to the roof, fire up the water heater, A/C, open the awning etc?
Absolutely...demand it.
2. Do dealers offer some included 30 day warranty for items that may be broken that I am unable to see because the TT is not fully hooked up to service?
Maybe...I'd push hard to negotiate this into the deal
3. Will the dealer offer some additional warranty or fees I should avoid?
Probably...an expensive 3rd party extended service contract. This is up to you..I'm not in favor of them and always decline.
4. Does paying in cash benefit them and can I use it to request more money off the purchase?
No benefit to them....and probably you will get no deals. They normally do not carry the finance contract anyway. If you have it, pay cash and save yourself money by not paying interest.
5. Is the Coachmen brand/model I am considering a lesser brand/model or is it considered a decent TT? I did some research, but didn't find anything specifying it's a problematic brand or considered a lesser brand.
No better, no worse. It's all about how the trailer has been maintained when buying used.
Thanks for any help,
