Realistic?
Hi there. New here, and hoping for some insight into a process that is new to me - purchasing a travel trailer. This may be long, so hopefully you can forgive me. I like to think I'm pretty capable...

Buying a TT is not a race. It is an expensive item that depreciates rapidly.
Good luck
This is good advice.
And a little further thought on that is that since they do depreciate rapidly, it's to your advantage to try to get the trailer you want to keep for a while, rather than fall victim to the idea of buying 2 or 3 trailers in sucession over the next 5 or 6 years. Shop carefully think about what your needs and wants may be in the next several years.
Also, it's been my observation that if the dealer is willing to throw in a whole lot of extras for what you're paying, you probably paid too much. After all, if he can afford to throw in extra junk, that indicates he had a very, very healthy profit indeed on the sale. I bought my trailer for bottom line price first of all, and then sourced my BlueOx hitch after I got home from somewhere else. Same with all my accessories.
EDIT: JUST MY OPINION, but "for me" their warranty didn't mean squat. I fix my own stuff, because I want it done right, and I want it done right away. These trailers are not rocket science....they are pretty easy for a handy person to work on.
