I know in 6-12 months the market will be better, but we are trying to get some trips in before a big trip in November. I am going to start looking at some campground options in the next day for our potential "shakedown" trips.
Hi Raife,
It seems like you are doing your research. You have picked some nice campers that meet your needs. It doesn't look like this dealer has added too many extra fees that you might have encountered elsewhere.
Many of us look for the best deal we can get when shopping for an RV. It's up to you to decide how urgent the purchase is and how much you can afford. Sometimes it's good to wait. Other times, you can jump in and enjoy something now. It's a trade off. Wait for a potentially better deal later or take an OK deal now. One approach maximizes the budget while the other maximizes for current enjoyment.
One other thought. Consider going to your local bank or credit union to line up a loan. You may find you can get a better deal that what is offered at the dealer. It seems like rates are pretty low at the moment - which could help you save a bit on your overall cost.
