Trading down.

I am thinking about trading down from a 40' Fleetwood Revolution which is worth more than the new class "C" I am looking at.
Should I laugh when they offer me less than what the C is listed for and want $ to boot? I have never had experience with anything like this but, I know sales people and dealerships. :B

    He's not a bad person, maybe you just need to get to know him better. :W


    My first beer ever was a bottle of Schlitz.(I was 15 years old) Now to say how long ago that was. It was from an old ice box sitting outside of an old, out in the sticks, gas station. Sorta like something from Tobacco road. Really, it was about the time that Movie came out. My Grandfather owned the Theater in the town where I was reared. I got to see all the movies. Also got to help run the consession stand and clean up the theater after the late show. Bag of pop corn five cents, coke ten cents and so on.

  • You are all right on. I no more than hit the "Post Message," hickey when I said to myself, why am I asking this question? My only excuse is, MR. Bud light made me do it.:B

    With the internet now available to market your RV, it will be much easier to sell to a private party compared to the days of classified ads and notices posted on bulletin boards in the local grocery store. Clean it up, remove any personal information (credit card numbers) from your maintenance records and post it on one of the online sites like RVTRADER.

    Why do you want to move from a diesel pusher Class A to a Class C? Just curious.

    We were loking at a Jayco diesel.
  • They may play with the numbers in an attempt to fake you out, but they will give you wholesale for yours and sell theirs to you at retail.
