Hello all, this is my first post here. I’ve been lurking here a while looking for info on campers. I’m looking to buy a TT for the 2020 camping season and I’m trying to plan my finances accordingly....

You can use a dealer to finance or go to your own bank or credit union. Or shop around to find the best rates. That is what we did. You can do 0 down. Save that money now for a down payment when you buy. If we all waited till we could pay cash we might never camp.
Find the dealer that has the unit you want. doesn't matter who it is. Chances are no matter what the dealer warranty work will be out 1-2 months if needed. We had our scheduled for the end of the season and kept using it while I had a temp fix in place.
Have you considered used? Chances are you will use it and find you want something different after a season or two. Used is a cheap way to find that out without loosing big depreciation. We are on our 3rd camper in 5 seasons. If going this route get a good inspection done to find issues. I have friends that have bought used trailers and traded for more than they paid after a few years.
