Wife and I still have not found the "perfect Couples Trailer" yet.
We're still pondering either the Rpod 180 or the Coachmen 192RBS.
Leaning toward the 192RBS but just can't swallow the "no way Jose
no dickering price" by the local Coachmen dealer. Every vehicle
I've purchased or sold had some wiggle room.
$ 17,924.00 2017 Coachmen Freedom Express 192RBS
$ 800.00 hitch
$ 99.00 Admin Fee
$ 88.00 License/30day tag, Transfer, Title Fee
$ 399.00 Fueling & PDI
-----------
$ 19,974.69
Then I'll need to purchase Sewer Hose, Electrical Cord, Water Hoses,
Filter, Surge Protector, RV toilet paper, wheel chocks, ....
Tried the Costco mention to purchase -- but that really does not
seem to work.
Perhaps the above is a *deal"?
When you compare price of the 192RBS with the Rpod-180, a $2,500
difference, the 192RBS looks good to me.
Yesterday we looked at a 2013 Coachmen 192RBS that was supposed
to be like new at $12,500. Condition looked "fair" at best to me.
Missing stuff like spare tire, table, clock, jack tool, had
2012 DOT tires, seams seemed to be open in a few places,
metal around an exterior storage doors bent so bad the door would
not fully close, incandescent lighting, no TV, etc. I don't know if
it would be a good deal after addressing all that and then
maybe some unknowns.
Noted on the Rpod owners forum a person sold his Rpod-177 and
purchased a Lance 2295 - big difference.
