Anyone have any suggestion?...
First off, welcome to the forums. Hope you stick around awhile with more questions. You may get some off-beat answers and responses, but somewhere in here, you may find a good answer to your questions.
Second, if you are really satisfied with the previous product, then why not make a road trip from Michigan to NY or NJ and go pick it up. Take the RV and have a great vacation. It gives you a final destination point, and lots and lots to see and do between where you are located and where you need to go. (That's what I'd do).
1) You will be purchasing the product you really want and has been time-tested by you.
2) You can pre order and once you arrive at the store put it directly into the camper.
3) You can make a really great road trip with lots and lots of camping opportunities between Michigan and NJ or NY.
If it were me, I'd vote for the road trip and go get the one I want. After all, that's why we have RV's to begin with! To travel and experience new things. Or spend the night at distant relatives, or use them for extra bedroom space, or for traveling when you really don't want to do motels!
