Shopping Jayco Jayfeather Hybrid -Thoughts?

What are your thoughts on this model and this price?
We have been thinking maybe tent trailer but aren't sure.... we are used to a regular trailer but it was small. I wish the table were to seat 6 but the couch is right there so maybe that would help?

2006 - 19' Jayco Jayfeather Hybrid in EXCELLENT condition
Ultra light weight, with spacious floor plan.
pretty much fully loaded, w/ outdoor shower
and an RV-Q, propane bbq that mounts on the side!
original owner
must see
$9250.

    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.
