After years of looking, researching, discussions and budget analysis, we have finally pulled the trigger on a 2015 Jayco Jay Flight 26BH. She's a beauty! we decided we wanted to pay cash and not finance a camper so we were looking at used ones. We went to a dealership that had a very nice looking stored indoors 2004 jayfeather for 6200. we drove 1.5 hours only to find that it was sold! the salesman we were dealing with in the past was not there and we talked to a different guy. He had the sales manager come out and we told him we were a little upset with the other guy because he knew we were coming and he knew what we were looking for and he didn't tell us that camper was sold. So they showed us a few trailers that were junk to me. and then they hit me with the Jayco. This was just what we were looking for. so I asked how much and he said it's on sale for 10,999 I told him why are you even showing this I told you i'm not spending over 8,000. He said lets go back to the office and talk because i think i can get this into your price range. Well, I doubted it but ok. He ran the numbers and said at 10999 out the door would be something close to 12,500. I grabbed my keys and told my wife let's go, and told him thanks for wasting our time. He said hold on please, how about you make an offer, I told you I think I can get it into your budget. so I wrote on the paper $8500 with a hitch. so he took it to the manager and he came back with $8500 with out the hitch, $9,000 out the door with the hitch. I immediately thought whats wrong with this trailer that they are going to drop it 3500 bucks but this thing is nice. Long story short...We are picking it up on Wednesday. Here are a few pictures.
thanks everyone. Now soon my next purchase may be a different tow vehicle. I have the Ram 1500 with a 3.6L v6 and it's rated to tow 7340lbs as it has the 3.55 rear end. but in the 1.5 hour ride home I'm not sure if i'll be happy with it. Takes a lot of revving. It got up to speed ok, it could have been worse, but I had no camping gear loaded up yet. I'm wondering how they get the towing numbers, seriously. I had a 2003 f150 with a 5.4L that was rated to tow 8000 and I towed a coachmen at 6500 loaded and I could tell that it was back there with that truck. this truck will do it, but i dont think it likes to.
here we are picking it up at the dealer
here it is at the house, because I thought the 5th wheel made it look too small :B
