Tri fold sleeper

Why didn't you discover that before you made the deal?

Good luck!

We did ask before we bought the trailer, and they said no.

Ha, I just realized you are the same guy asking about the dinette.. :)

Okay, you are buying something the guy has on the lot.. You have every right to ask about making changes to that unit, but it's going to cost you to do it..

Plain and simple.. ;)

If you want specific things for your RV, you have to special order it and that's gonna take time and probably cost more than the same unit that the dealer has on the lot..

The dealers motivation is to sell what he has on the lot.. It's costing him money to have that unit on the lot.

If you like the unit, but want changes made to it, it's gonna cost you..

I wouldn't just give you all the things you want for the sticker price, unless it was negotiated before hand.

When I bought my TT in 2002, it was all that I wanted, but it didn't have A/C... I wanted A/C and I needed a WD hitch setup..

I negotiated those requests in the deal and they came back with a price that was acceptable to me and we shook hands on it..

This was AFTER I walked out of their office laughing at their initial offer and I later left a VM message with an offer and they called me back with a counter offer that I liked and then the deal was made.. :)

Anyway, it depends on how much $$ the dealer is going to make on the deal.. Or not making the sale.. If he can't sell the unit to you, he'll wait for the next guy..

Or, if he's desperate, he'll make a deal..

Good luck!

The day after the sale is not the time to start questioning what the trailer comes with. You needed to do that BEFORE making the deal. In addition, when the dealer "said no", you needed to determine if what you weren't getting was a deal breaker.

Now that it is yours, you need to find ways to make it work. How about making a fabric cover for the sofa? Something that you can easily take off when you want to fold it out into a bed, but that will give you a bit more "traction" when you're using it as a sofa.

For the dinette, you're looking at paying the $500 for the remodel OR doing it yourself. You might get lucky and find someone who has a dinette and is willing to trade you the dinette parts for your chairs and table - then it's only the labor you're paying for (or doing yourself).

I was going to give you a bit of grief over this additional issue until I realized you've dealt with enough cr** the last few weeks. Personal opinion offered at no charge.....I think you should research what is available as standard or options on the trailer model you are looking at. Research it within an inch of its life. I'd bet that the sofa with an air mattress is available regardless of what the dealer said....seems to be the trend. You're in a part of the country that camping is likely not going to happen for many weeks. I think you should special order your trailer exactly as you want it. If that means searching for another dealer, then do it. You said you "bought" the trailer yesterday....does your state have the 3 day "buyers remorse"?? If so, you need to get a move on and cancel this deal PDQ. I know what you've dealt with recently is a PITA, but buying a trailer you don't absolutely LOVE everything about is not going to make you happy. IIRC, you were storing your previous trailer in a lot vs at home. So you save that many month's storage during this time you're trailer-less. Good luck. Hope you can work this out.

So you have a friend-fold sleeper you don't like and a table & chairs in the same TT that you wish was a booth dinette. It sounds like you maybe jumped the gun on the new TT purchase. I hope you got it at a VERY reduced price (30+ % off "MSRP" or better).

If the TT wasn't what you wanted then why buy? It obviously was not all you wanted because you have already posted about two modifications and it's not even a week old.

I know you all just had your STOLEN TT returned, but it seems odd to have went out and purchased the new one if it wasn't what you wanted.

Oh geeze... I didn't realize you were the same one that had your trailer stolen too!! But, sure enough.. :o

I've been here for 12+ years and haven't heard that series of "bad luck" from a member....

Whatever happens tomorrow, I hope it's better than your last couple of weeks..

I fail to understand why you buy a TT with multiple things you don't want. You should order one equipped how you want it.

Did you actually look at this TT before purchase?

As has been said, see if you can cancel this sale.
You need to slow down and take a break from your recent experiences.
You said that you wanted a new TT because of your feelings about the stolen and recovered TT.
But now you've acquired a new TT that you are unhappy with for at least a couple of reasons.
There is no hurry to get a new TT unless you have an immediate trip planned that cannot be cancelled, even then you could rent something for an immediate trip.

You should take your time and look at a lot of TTs, ask a lot of questions. RV shows generally happen in January through March. Try to get to at least a few shows and look at lots of models.

There is a lot of experience and expertise here on the forum, but you should be asking questions of the forum members BEFORE you buy. Then you can use that knowledge to help you decide on what is best for your needs. Posting your disappointments AFTER you've bought will get responses of sympathy, but that isn't going to help your situation.

You should be thrilled when you take delivery of a new TT, you should not be having buyer's remorse just one day after you've purchased a new TT. Good luck with whatever you can do at this point.

Trade it in for what you really want....
