Cleveland RV show

Went to the RV show yesterday just to have something to do. A few months back I saw a floor plan on the Internet of a Pinnacle 36FBTS very nice layout. Well there was one at the show yesterday. We really like the layout and it has all the options that I have on my wish list. It has a great price as well. I had a number in my head that if we were ever serious to buy another one I would like to be at. Well with my trade they are actually about 2,000 less then my number.

The thing of it is not really sure if I want to spend the money. Trying to figure out if I wait would that deal ever come about again.

Well back to doing some heavy thinking.

    Show price was $59997 I believe, was just a tad under 60k.

    With my trade it came out very reasonable. But we have decided to hold off a little. Have some Medical issues that we need answers on first.

    But sure love that floor plan.

    My thoughts are if you like it and can afford it go for it. Life is short and one should enjoy it while they can!

    I agree that you may be able to get the deal again later but a trade always complicates the deal. The amount they offer for your trade can vary quite a bit depending on time of year and if they feel they can sell it quickly.

    We have looked at the Pinnacles and have been quite impressed by their quality. There may be one in our future as well.

    Wife and I worked the Cleveland show in the mid 90's for several different dealers. You can find some good prices there as the competition is fierce. The last day or so of the show is the best time for the best deal. You can still always deal and negotiate price at the show.

    Having said that if you are a good negotiator and have done your home work you can do just as a good a deal at most any dealer at any time. The Advantage of a RV show is the wide selection of brands all in one place.
