Looking at some Airstreams
Wondering what percentage off on MSRP is typical for this kind of trailer? Looking at something like a 25' 2013 flying cloud model. Or is it best to buy used?

Don't get too far out with the H-D motorcycle analogy. A technically inferior bike. All sizzle and no steak. Obsolete. A genuine waste of money except for the criminal cachet which attachs to it. T-shirts, tattoos and felonies . . something to which to aspire?
HD isn't like that anymore.
My FIL is a 40 + year employee of HD.
He says that the criminal element isn't a part of their buissiness anymore. They have been priced out of the market.
Doctors, Lawyers, CEOs, even movie stars and rock stars, etc. are the new HD customers. They sell a lot of fake tattoos and leather so that these upstanding people can "look" the image at a weekend rally etc.
You would be very surprised at just who is riding HDs nowadays.
And as far as inferior technology goes.. Not true anymore as well. They had to improve just because of the emissions laws.
40 years from now the Harley will still be running and likely be worth more than it was new... Not many if any of the other brands can say that.
They are the "throw away" brands...
As for the Airstreams, I have looked at them, and I find them too small inside for my tastes. The very shape that makes them tow so well, and efficiently is a detriment to the interior space.
Obviously, others may have different opinions and priorities, which I respect.
