Realistic?
Hi there. New here, and hoping for some insight into a process that is new to me - purchasing a travel trailer. This may be long, so hopefully you can forgive me. I like to think I'm pretty capable...

If I understand correctly, the two parties are $439 apart. The cooling off period is a good idea. During this period you need to evaluate how bad you want that trailer, how big a downside it will be to travel out of state to buy, and what confidence you have in the local dealer and his service department. If they don't call back and accept your offer you could meet them half way on the $439, but you take that route you must be ready to walk.
I just hate to be the party that gives in a little more at this point. But I do like the cooling off period idea.

Go buy a used trailer save the depreciation on depreciating asset you will likely want to swap for something different within three years. That is if you don't give up on the RV life.
We've considered the risk of going new versus used. We prefer new for the warranty more than anything. I like to think we're in it for the long haul as we enjoy traveling and camping, but tired of tents. Thanks!

From what I have read on this forum, ease of working with their warranty service department should trump price.
Acknowledged. That's our mindset, but I imagine that depends on the price gap.
