The reason I don't say for rental is because anytime in the past I have ever mentioned it people seem to flip their lids and can't believe someone would allow someone else to rent their beloved RV then start getting all sarcastic in responses. Truth be told just as our Class A we rent it and we also use it for personal trips. My boys race High School mountain bikes so we travel the state going to watch races in the Motorhome when possible.
I've owned a few RVs over the years. A 03 Weekend Warrior, an 05 Skyline Rampage 5ver toyhauler that we pulled with a Kenworth semi truck and an 07 Damon Daybreak Class A and now my current 07 Georgetown Class A so I've owned a few. The only thing all these have in common are they were all private party purchases. Nondealers involved. So no I don't know the buying game and dealing with dealers on purchases. I personally try and never buy new. You just lose to much money when you take
It off the lot. This time I'm considering new since it's going to be under $20k for the purchase price. Not sure in this price point I'd be better off buying used since used won't have a warranty. Figured it would just be better to buy new for this purchase.
Also this purchase will also be used by my wife and I and our kids so I want a floor plan I will like.
Reason I don't want slides are because our main issue with our current Motorhome is we have had a few renters stuck with the slide not closing. Also had one that anytime they started the coach the bedroom slide would automatically start going out. It's not supposed to do this. Also the slides have ruined our carpet from water stains from leaking water. Just don't want the hassle for a rental.
