Tri fold sleeper

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..

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.

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.

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).

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!

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