I just feel like typing a story...
When we were shopping for our used DP, a 2 year process, we finally found exactly the unit we wanted, at a dealer within 50 miles of our home.
We got there, and looked at the unit. It was perfect, and seemed to be in perfect condition, as far as we could tell. Just what we were looking for.
Left outside with the slides out during a chicago winter.
I said we would come back once they jump started the rig and pulled her inside the service bay long enough to get the slides in for a proper checkout and test drive.
They refused.
We left and hot the internet. Soon found the exact same coach, same year, same color, same everything, at lazydays in Tampa. After some discussions with a salesman, and lots of emailed pictures, we pulled our kid outa school and headed south in our tradein, with out toad draging behind.
When we arrived at lazydays 2 days later, the gate guard directed us to our spot in thier delivery lot. We pulled the old Pacearrow in door to door with our hopefully soon to me our Monaco Knight.
Our sales rep and a member of thier pre delivery service team were there to meet us, and we gave the knight a 4 hour PDI.
That night, we started moving out stuff over, and we cooked dinner and slept in our new coach.
The next morning, we did all the paperwork and paid them. We finished putting all our stuff in, and drove across the street to Lazyday's campground.
the next morning, we took our toad for a day of tampa sightseeing. Lazydays picked up our coach from the campground and started running our checklist. ditto for the second day. When we got back the second day, all was done and the coach was perfect.
We stayed 2 more days just to make sure, then went off to disneyworld.
