New Travel Trailer

My wife and I bought our first TT about 4 months ago. We had a good experience with Camping World of all places. I really didn't want to go that route but they were the closest RV dealership of any kind and still are an hours drive from us. I originally started looking at used campers this past winter for sale by individuals. I wanted about a 2 year old camper so i wouldn't have to eat the depreciation of a new one. Well after about 3 months of looking about all the gently used campers were priced almost as much as a new one. I assume alot of people with these are so upside down on their loans they price them as such. I didn't have enough experience on what to look out for in older models so didn't want to buy someone elses problems either. So off we go to CW. We got lucky and ended up with a good salesman. Not pushy at all. The first question he asked us was for information on our towing vehicle, 2nd question was what were we looking to spend, 3rd question was what we wanted in floor plan. Our truck and budget eliminated all 5th wheels, we wanted no bunkbeds, its my wife and i plus 4 small dogs. About 10 minutes after beginning the process he had narrowed us down to 3 TT out of about 100. He then spent an hour walking thru each of the 3, going bumper to bumper explaining details, then recommended that my wife and i walk back thru each one by ourselves and discuss what we liked & didn't like about each one. So we did and both mutually like one of the 3 the best. 4 months later we are still happy with it and are totally happy with our choice. with the help of this forum and youtube, and pinterest i have learned how to maintain it myself with roof inspections, battery maintenance etc.. I had a good experience with CW sales dept but hope and pray i don't have to deal with their service dept. Long story short, make sure you match up your Towing vehicle capacity to your TT first and foremost, then work on floor plan choice and budget. Enjoy
