New TT bargaining...

So we are potentially on the cusp of buying a brand new TT this weekend - Grand Design Imagine XLS 21BHE.

I know with inventory at all time lows my bargaining power is next to nothing, although we will give it the ol college try.

That said, what are some critical things I could try to work in as "freebies" (I know they are not really free). My first thought is a good WDH w/ sway.

What are other key items I could look at working into the deal?

- LP Tanks?
- Batteries?
- Hook up hoses?
- Back up camera (comes prewired)

Any ideas are appreciated.

Thank you.
  • You get the deal you get or you get the deal you make and that's what you get.. There is no standard or general rule to the deals, no matter what folks say...

    No matter what deal you make, someone will always have made a better deal, and you will actually make a better deal than someone else..

    In the end, it's the deal that works for YOU that will let you enjoy your new rig or not..

    If you fret about it, what good is that?

    I shopped around, found the deal I was happy with and went with it. Done deal.

    I don't worry about it. I know I got a better deal than the one I was working on before and walked away.. You just have to know when to walk or when to talk..

    Anyway, good luck! Mitch
  • Saw no to extended warranty, put that where the sun doesnt shine. Absolutely refuse to pay for 'documentation fees' Stand your ground on out the door price.
    A wdh hitch is a good bargaing point, forget the nickle and dime incidentals like hoses
  • It will come with full LP Tanks and a battery. Forget about the hoses. They'll throw in a piece of junk hose and you'll throw it away and buy good hoses. I would try for the hitch. Even if you can't get them to throw it in, maybe you can get them to split the cost. If that's a hard NO, go for something less expensive like lynx levelers or a sewer hose support or an RVLock.
  • My choices would be the WDH/Sway Bar

    2nd... Back up camera, since it is prewired.

    Looks like it has a lot of extras... Congratulations.
  • comes with Power Tongue Jack, is that the same as Power Hitch Jack?
    comes with Aluminum Rims and Nitrogen Filled Radial Tires

    here is the link. It has all three packages on the right.
