How far would you drive for new TT?
I'm amazed at the price variation by area of the country for RVs. I asked my local dealer who had a unit I was interested in why I could buy the same unit he had @ 33K for 25K if I was willing to dri...

West TN to Lakeview, OH on 2 trailers. Saved over $4000, after travel costs, on the first and even more on the second. Around 600 miles (??) each way. Simple....figure how many miles, whatever mileage you get GOING only - you'll be happy with 10 mpg on the return trip, I always estimate on the high side for the per gallon price. What'll food cost you will you have and do you have motel? Add it all up and there is what it'll cost you. Strongly suggest you find a nearby campground for the first night to give everything a good look. If you find anything amiss, you're still closeby and can get it fixed before you head home. Turn it into a little vacation with a really big souvenir. That's assuming you have the time. If you don't have the time, it just may not work for you.
There is a post somewhere on here recently from a driver who hauls trailers, etc and he gave the current info on what they're paid, fuel and so on. It was actually more than I'd have thought for delivery. If one dealer tells you he's paying $X for delivery and the guy down the street is paying a bunch more, somebody isn't quite accurate. Suggest you try to find his post to get numbers so you can come close to what delivery should be.
Also strongly suggest you do not have the trailer delivered to you. The driver delivers only....no PDI, no questions answered, no demo...just delivery.
Agree with randallb on the T & L. RVW charged us something like $15 for a 30 day temp Ohio tag to get home on. Then when we registered here in TN we paid the taxes and license fee.
