Questions on purchasing campers from dealers.

[1handyhubby]

Now that we've found our dually we're looking to retire our old Lance and get a newer camper. We've always bought used and from private parties but now that we're close to retirement and traveling more we're thinking about purchasing new. Anyone care to share their experiences with dealers? How long can you finance for and what kind of payments can we expect on $50-$60,000? I know I can check with a dealer but a little knowledge beforehand is always good. We don't have much to choose from in San Diego so we will probably head up into Oregon. Any recommendations on reputable dealers? My wife is drooling over pictures of a Host Mammoth so we'll be looking for that or something similar. Thanks in advance. Y'all have helped a lot.

We toured the Host factory before we purchased. The experience of seeing the production and quality of components used in construction clinched our choice.

Thunder RV in Lagrande is the closest dealer to the Northwood factory if your looking at Arctic Fox. Also Apache Camping centers in Portland and Seattle are interested. Host campers are built in Bend and appear to be good. But you would have to check for dealers.
