Still suggest you check RVW for ROOs....unless you've totally ruled them out. Your local dealer doesn't know you'd prefer one over another and it's a good bargaining tool.
Re the $1000 difference....compare features, do you love the upholstery in one more than the other? Cabinets? Anything else. While $1000 is not loose change, if you plan to keep this trailer for several years, get the one you really love the most.
