Quality Decline since Covid

TT quality has declined quite a bit over the last year...

Well we have found a TT that checks all the boxes for both of us. It is only 27 feet four inches (My checked box). It has the private bedroom, and the full bunks, slide out and outdoor kitchen... https://www.dutchmen.com/product/aspen-trail

We have a smaller Aspen Trail we got three years ago and the quality was very good on the build. But...now...during Covid when they can't build them fast enough...apparently...quality is distinctly affected...and not in a good way...so we are going to wait. When you walk in and first thing you see is a toilet that is crooked in the bathroom...direct from the factory...and start looking around and seeing "little things" it makes you pause. We also looked at a few others, different brands and there is a difference between our three year old one and this years...crop. We are doing fine so far and don't NEED a new one so we will wait... I'm also thinking that once Covid is defeated, there are going to be a bunch of lightly used travel trailers on the market as people realize...Well, it seemed like a good idea at the time...

Went ahead and got one at 3K below the one we were looking at AND a fantastic trade in almost paying the old one off. I don't have to seel on my own. I might have been able to do a bit better selling but with all the hastle also. Will do a thorough going over, Good dealership about 45 minutes from home... Interesting here locally, but the almost panic buying has let up a bit. Units are actually sitting on the lots for a couple of weeks instead of being sold as they entered the dealership... It is interesting to see this unit being listed as high as 42K in some places and as low as 23,500 where I got mine new. Most are in the 26K to 29/30K range... Mine is a west coast build and it appears that the Indiana builds are the ones going higher...in general. Not many "used" and they aren't that much less than mine most often with fewer "things" on them. the older ones didn't have the "fireplace" or auto lift/stabilizers and a few other minor things, slightly different storage...
