I've been wanting a TC for a number of years and finally retired so now is the time, right? Of course the pandemic hits, stock market tanks, we start a major remodel on our home, can't shop for either a truck or camper in person so I've been sitting on the sidelines watching prices go up and availability go down. I did throughly research virtually every type of RV and most TC brands and the components of TCs. Now if I order a Hallmark TC it'll probably be next year for delivery.
My estimation of the economic effect of the pandemic on my personal situation was drastically wrong (thankfully); guess I'm a bit pessimistic or conservative financially. I've found over the years, for me, it's a better strategy to get what I want rather than making do and then "trade up" later. My point being a truck and camper is going to be the most expensive thing I've ever bought (outside of my kid's education) that wasn't a house.
I think it's the right product so I can hunt, tow my boat and stay a couple nights at the lake, and bring my wife boondocking to some places she's never been. I hate hotels and eating out. She's ok w the purchase since I won't be paying w "our" money. We're in our early 60's but now too old to sleep on the ground anymore. LOL
Just throwing the topic out to get an idea of how you guys convince yourselves to get off the fence or any other comments or thoughts.
We were looking at TT's for some time with the intent to buy after November the 3rd. November the 3rd is going to keep us in our TC for 4 more years. On a good note we did pay all off our debt and for the first time in our lives we owe nothing to no one. On a bad note our insurance company immediately cancelled coverage of my wife's 1500 dollar a month RX. Tuff choices, tuff times ahead... Good luck sir.
