Trading in question...
Ok, the wifey and I are considering trading in our 2010 Dodge Ram and travel trailer on a Class C in the near future. Does anyone on here have experiences doing this? Advice/warnings??

We traded both truck and trailer to the dealer we bought our C from. I know we probably could have done a bit better selleing both individually and privately, but we just wanted a clean single transaction and we got what we wanted in trade value.
And the other thing is that we saved in sales tax since we're taxed on the net amount paid after the trade, which was the majority of the purchase price.
My wife and I did the same thing back in Sept. 1994 when we bought our first Class C. In our case we traded in a year old Ford E150, which the dealer sold to a Ford dealer immediately. Our 2 year old trailer sat for so long neglected, that the dealer had to fix a bathroom floor that rotted out due to a leak that developed while sitting there.
Our sales tax worked the same.
Our son (15 at the time) started working there at that time, part time after school. We sold the motor home in 2004, but our son is still working there. I can't tell you how great it is to have someone who knows their way around RV's.
