Then there are those who try to jump right into FT living. BIG mistake.
Back in 2006 we met a couple, just retired, sold their house, bought a 3500 dually & a 5er that had a $110,000 MSRP sticker on it. They were going to FT. They had never so much as had a popup before or a rental & they were going to jump right into a very nice 34' 5er.
They took delivery of the truck & trailer in March 2006. September 2006, they wanted OUT. This was not the lifestyle for them.
After 3 months, & price drops, they finally sold truck (16,000 miles) & trailer combined for $85,000.
Very expensive lesson learned.
