Riley, looks like you are looking at the Lance at the CW at the 76th street and Division location on the south side of Grand Rapids MI just off US-131. CW bought out American RV which was the former business name and CW had a store there. American RV had stocked and sold Lance TC's for many years before being sold to CW. Later, also sold Arctic Fox TC's just a couple years before they were sold to CW. Also used to sell a couple other brands of TC's a few yews ago too. I know the business quite well and have been there many times and purchased many thousands of $$$ of stuff there as we live in the Grand Haven area. We have been happy with CW locations and have been Presidents Club members since 1993 or 4.
They had nearly stopped selling Arctic Fox TC's several years ago as they didn't sell well at all and they also had many quality and warranty claims and issues with the Arctic Fox TC's they had sold.
Haven't talked to the CW owners for a few years now so possibly some things had or have changed. I do know they had a turnover of many of their salespersons so I likely wouldn't know who you are working with as it's none of my business anyway. The salesperson very likely won't tell you or doesn't know all the details of the past years happenings. All he wants to do is sell you an RV! The $60,000 price sheet they showed you is a mystery and sounds very fishy and certainly inflated. Anything can be printed by just about anyone!!! BTW, we have owned 3 new Lance TC's ourselves and still have one today and won't sell it...
I did know about the CW buyout. From what I've been seeing I think the $60049 is valid as it appears to have most if not all of the offered options. Right now I think we're just too far apart on price. I'm not even sure I would want it after I saw the shower cracks. I'm wondering how much damage will be done pulling the old one out and putting in the new one.
I'm going to buy something somewhere so I'm going to order the Torklift tie downs,Fast Guns and a bed mat and then take a little road trip. Maybe I'll come back with something. I'm recently retired and a little antsy.
Thanks,
Rick
