This is the best advice ever. Thank you.
I really appreciate the responses. Turning a closer eye to the Grand Designs models and checking them out now.
I AM going to rule out buying used... I think that having a manufacturer warranty with reasonable expectations is definitely going to give me some piece of mind. While understanding the value of the unit it going to drop drastically, I'll be putting so much use into the unit that I need to make sure that if there was an issue that could possibly be covered under a warranty that I have it to fix it.
I did go speak with someone today about the Grand Designs imagine 2150 and whoever suggested that model, it was a really, really great fit. Seems like the interior has someone superior building materials, and I was able to negotiate from MSRP of 32,999 *approx, I don't have paperwork in front of me*, to $24,310. I read their warranty word for word, no exclusions for someone who is looking at it for a semi-permanent residence.
For those concerned about my business choice in purchasing one of these, I can assure you I've thought long and hard and considered all of the financial aspects of the benefits/cons to both continually staying in hotels vs traveling with a camper. After talking with several people in my industry, there are just too many pros that outweigh the cons.
Please keep the advice on units/haggling/etc coming, they truly are helping-- it's how you helped me get a Grand Designs into an ideal price range for me. How long does it take you all to set up/hook up/break down? Is an equalizer hitch a good choice?
