1) Whatever you buy if it is from a dealer Make sure that the contract STATES IN WRITING that the final payment is due AFTER the unit passes the PREDELIVERY inspection. Have someone knowledgeable go with you for the inspection. Everything should be functioning for inspection The fridge should be cold. the hot water heater running the water pump functioning and so forth for every system. There are many stories here of a dealer getting the money and then the rig turns out to have a problem forcing a wait of MONTHS before the new owner gets what he paid for.You are in the best bargaining position BEFORE the dealer has your money.
3) there is no such thing as an HD over the air antenna. The one on the trailer will be fine.
4) Some trailers come with a filter at the kitchen sink for filtered drinking water. IF not it is an easy self install project or bargain it into the pr1ce of the rig. Some use filters and softeners on their rigs but I have never seen the need for it. If you are unsure of the water bring a couple of jugs from home or buy a gallon at the store.
5) Most trailers will need only a 30 amp service maximum. Some motorhomes take a 50 amp service. You can adapt your plug to fit whatever AMP service is provided
6) Some think that a new trailer can be had for about 30 % off MSRP. The only problem is some manufacturers do not publish a true MSRP. New versus used is your choice and many factors will contribute to your decision. Are you ready to retire? Do you want something specific in the trailer or are you flexible? How long do you intend to keep the rig and will you have rig envy and trade after a few years. Your future earning potential are just some of the questions you need to consider. If you buy used then you enter into another set of variables. Do you tend to get into something GUNG HO and then lose interest and how does you SIG. other feel about this.
By the way look up the term "china bomb" before you buy.
And remember the salesman IS NOT your friend his job is to make you pay the maximum he can make you pay. It is how he feeds his family.
