The owner told me that he had 4 people willing to pay 6,000. Of course I have no way of knowing if this is true. Why are there fewer hybrids here?
i've been trying to figure that out for over 7 years now.
you'd think California would be the perfect place for hybrids, with our ability to camp year-round.
part of it is Californians' infatuation with big pricey rigs. huge luxury motorhomes or huge toyhaulers or luxury 5th wheels.
and Calif. dealers are the ones pushing them. they only carry higher end rigs. just look at the typical California RV show. lots of big expensive RV's with only a handful of less costly ones.
plus, the only factories making hybrids, are in the Midwest and it's costs dealers out here the same to ship them out West, as it does to have the expensive ones shipped, that they will make more money on.
so Calif. dealers choose not to carry them which makes them more rare and therefore cost more, including used ones.
but these are only partial explanations and it could be that Californians just don't get hybrids.:h
