Have you checked NADA to see if that price is fair/reasonable?
The listing doesn't say what options are included. If bare bones, it has an average retail of about $6k. Have you checked your bank or credit union to see if they will loan that much on it? Or is this going to be a cash deal?
You also don't mention what you're going to tow with and if you KNOW it's suitable to tow that specific TT. (Don't just rely on your salesman saying that you can.)
You also don't mention where you might be going. Many TTs do not do well in cold climates and the price of propane to heat it in the winter s an expense you'll have to factor in.
That said, I can totally relate to you wanting to take your home along with you. I met someone last year who is a ranger "up north" in the warmer months and will be working in The Everglades next winter. The kind of set up you're talking about would work for him.
No advice other than check your facts and realistically gauge your circumstances see if it's really "do-able" for you.
I looked up the NADA with the options on the trailer and it said low retail came in around $7,200, and Average was $9,100. I'll check that list when I get home and double check those numbers. It's going to be financed through the local credit union with 5% down.
That person sounds in very similar situation. The coldest temperatures I may find myself are 10-15F, I'm on the Olympic Peninsula located right on the coast. So I'll never find myself much above sea level.
Thanks for the food for thought. You all are awesome, I want to make sure I don't leave any possibility untouched and wind up upside down on it.
What would you estimate average propane usage per month could be if the average temperature is in the 30's for a few months?
