So if one lives in CA where the prices are higher.... what does one do?
Sigh.
Well, there's 2 choices. Either pay the higher price or travel to where the prices are lower....A lot lower.
Seriously though. I highly recommend that you get a quote for a new trailer online from either rvdirect.com or rvwholesalers.com. Even if you have no intention to buy new, but just for reference.
You'll be amazed how much cheaper a new trailer can be bought for. Usually a minimum of 30% off sticker and sometimes more.
People that have bought from them and traveled the distance to pick it up have found that even with the cost of the trip, they still came out thousands ahead. And many make it a first camping trip.
In my case, I got a great quote from RVDirect but a local dealer matched the quote. I bought a new Jayco 17Z for $12,900 and the sticker was around $18,500.....Of course I don't live in California so it was easier for a dealer to match the quote.
