Re: Buying RV from a far away dealer
Yeah I would stay a few days in the area and vacation while I checked things out. I've had 5 motorhomes and 2 fifth wheels in my lifetime and have always done lots of my own maintenance, even warranty work. Much less hassle to do it myself than fool with a dealer then half the time they don't do it right. Also it's gonna be hard to overlook the additional 6 or 7 K savings. Thanks for all the advice.378Views0likes0CommentsBuying RV from a far away dealer
Just curious about others experience about buying an RV far away from your home and your local dealers. I'm going to buy a small new 5th wheel and in the Tampa area about the best I can do is around 25 off which is going to be about 40K. I can go 1000 miles away and get the same trailer but it is a left over 2020 for 33K. I wonder if I might get some grief from local dealers if I need warranty work? Supposedly they are required to provide warranty service even if they didn't sell it but I'm not sure if they would. Anybody had this experience. Thanks for any advice.7.4KViews0likes30CommentsRe: Exterior rear wall feels spongy
Thanks for the replies. I'm going to check more units that are similar and see if most of them seem the same. No signs of leaks or water damage anywhere and it really feels like the outside fiberglass panel is just attached around the window and the outside edges which causes it to flex in and out a little near the middle.1KViews0likes0CommentsExterior rear wall feels spongy
I've been considering buying a five or six year old smaller fifth wheel and looked at two nice ones yesterday that had a spongy feel on the outside rear wall. One was a 2013 Wildcat and the other was a 2015 Cougar. Both were 30 footers with a large rear window and below the window the fiberglass exterior would flex in and out when I pushed on it. Both sides of the window and above it and the rest of the walls felt firm and looked good. They were at two different dealers and the salesman at both told me that was fairly common on these models with large rear windows. Anyone had any experience with this that can give me some advice? Thanks3.6KViews0likes16Comments
