I'd much rather roll certain "upgrades" into the initial loan/purchase of the r-pod instead of being confronted with deficiencies during our first full summer/fall of use next year.
If they are throwing some of these items to make the deal, then its not a bad idea. However, "rolling" these add-ons into the loan might not be the best approach. I know it means you don't have to pay for them right now, but the overall cost of financing these add-ons over time might not make sense financially.
It is important to understand that the minute your trailer rolls off the lot, it will lose significant value. The add-ons will never "add" the same amount of value to your camper for resale that you will pay over time financing it.
From what you describe from your intended travels (and based on my own experience starting small and then going big), I think you might realize down the road in a year or two that a bigger trailer will be in order. Its very easy to find yourself upside down (unless you are making a big down payment and I missed that somewhere).
It sounds like you have some fun trips planned. What tow vehicle are you using?
