We are newbies, too. I did lots of reading around here before I finalized the deal. Our dealer did no starter kit, only the 50 dollar gift card thing. I'd like to think I got decent deal on the major start-up accessories -- I got the overall price down where I wanted to see it but then I showed the sales guy the wholesalers quote for the exact same year / make / model and told him we need to make this deal a little better to make it NOT worth it for me to drive to the wholesalers lot. I said "I'll tell you what....make that 50 dollar gift card for a sewer hose into 1000 for all the assorted stuff I will need and we're good." He looked at me like I had 6 heads and said "1000?" And I said "Yeah, We have ZERO for accessories...we need everything from leveling blocks / chocks to hoses to an awning mat....some new lawn chairs....you name it..." He said "I have to go ask the manager." 3 minutes later we had 1000 credit in our name in the parts / accessories store to go with the new TT we where signing the papers on. I know some of the items we bought on that store credit deal could have been found a little cheaper, but for the most part their prices where right on par with everyone else's.
