Buy for Dealer or Buy for Model?

floorplan was always our first priority. it is a must it fits our lifestyle and what we want and how we want it set up. Floorplan will always be #1. Buy the floorplan that fits you.

Yes, I agree; floor plan is quite possibly the most important thing to look for.
Many years ago, when searching for our first Class A, we found a dealer that had just what we were looking for: A 27 foot Class A with Dodge M400 chassis, 440 engine, in good shape, right at our price point. It simply didn't occur to me to look at the floor plan. It was horrible! When the bed was made, we had to crawl across it to get to the bathroom. Everything else was great.
It didn't take but a year or so to trade it in on a 32 foot rear bedroom Class A.
a good dealer is a great thing, but if you get a lousy floor plan you will eventually hate the rig!

Personally, I am very concerned with the dealer. My last two trailers (esp current one) required support above and beyond what most dealers will provide.
I am very glad I had one that not only went to bat for me but also had the clout to make them (cough* Northwood mfg) do right.

Get the camper you actually want then you will have no regrets. The dealer is the last thing I would worry about. I know of no one who has ever said I really didn't get the one I wanted but the dealer was nice and dependable.

For you I don’t know. For me it’s the RV I want wherever it is. I fixed whatever was wrong or broken.
