Arctic/Polar/Cold weather packages.
Hi again. And sorry again if this is covered in 100 other threads...
Was visiting a dealer local to me about two weeks ago to look at a camper that we think is "the one" ;) when we can pull the trigger later in the year.
While I'm chatting with the sales guy I ask him if he ever ordered his campers with the Arctic option for the brand we're looking at. I think I made it obvious to him that I thought this option was a good thing to have and was basically waving extra money in his face.
So his reaction kinda made me do a double take. He scoffed at the idea and stated in so many words that he never ordered his units with the Arctic package because he thought it was a huge waste of money...
I even told him I wanted the option of not only more comfortably extending my camping season/options but that I had read that this May help with Air Conditioning in summer...
Still he dismissed the very idea. Stating he thought it was a waste.
Another dealer located an hour or so farther away from me will sometimes make a big deal about having the Arctic package and to top it off they seem to be quoting a price several thousand lower... Unless I was getting some bait and switch. I made it clear to both dealers that I was doing homework only at this point...
The dealer closest to me scoffs at the idea of a Arctic package but "seems" to still be asking a lot more $$$ for the same Trailer. The guy farther away seems to make a big deal out of the Arctic package and "seems" be have a lot better prices...
I'm just trying to figure out - what I'm missing? Are these Arctic packages a waste? This one would include an enclosed, insulated, heated underbelly and some sort of foil extra insulation in the roof as opposed to just a enclosed underbelly in the standard version of the trailer... Is it a waste? It was less than 1,000 according to the manufacturers web site. Maybe one of these dealers are playing some game I don't get... I'm just worrying and maybe confused. You thoughts or experience is welcome.
