Re: Purchasing a Livin Lite proving to be a real pain rant.
I wanted a used TT because I couldn't afford a new one. I looked and looked on line at a bunch of models and nothing really fit what I wanted (TT for camping now, a temp home when I move that I could be comfortable in with my 2 kitties and 1 dog). I saw a TT online at a nearby RV dealer, so I went to look at it. I liked it a lot and wanted to do a deal. I ended up dealing with the owner of the dealership. I explained that I was self-employed, so he knew I'd probably not get financing. So he agreed to a layaway plan with a deposit on the spot. I asked him what he could do for on the price, so he agreed to install a slide awning and an Equal-i-zer hitch. I also have several more things installed that I am buying and paying for installation. I am happy with my deal, just waiting for my invoices to be paid so I can bring home my TT. I looked at a lot of different TTs, all sizes, all types of construction. This will be my 2nd camper, my first was an Aliner, which got me back into camping at an affordable price, and it was used also. If the OP is still reading this thread, we all have hindsight advice to give, because we've all been there where you are now. We've learned by trial and error. Even with my used TT, there was probably more I could have gotten on the deal, maybe, but I am happy and the owner/dealer is happy. And that's what one wants when dealing. You can save more if you buy a new 2013 for more discount, if one you like is available. I don't think they make a bunch of Livin' Lites in advance, more to order like Casitas. I looked at Livin' Lites too, checked out website prices, and decided that it was too much for what I wanted to pay. Don't give up too soon, and don't think that people here are rude and unhelpful. RVers are among the nicest, most helpful people around. Give it a chance, don't expect perfection, and do your homework. Look around for buyers' checklists too, for what you should look for when picking up your unit. I'm buying used and have already informed my dealer that I intend to check over my purchase with a fine toothed comb.608Views0likes0CommentsRe: Travel Trailer Insurance
Thanks for posting all this great info re: TT insurance. I'll be storing my TT off my property (no room plus no personal property taxes) so I want separate insurance for it. I'll be sure to check out Good Sam. My auto insurance is GEICO so I'll be sure to really check that out thoroughly.383Views0likes0CommentsRe: TT with rear master bed, front bunkhouse.
I'm looking for something similar and am taking a closer look at a Forest River V-Lite 30WTBS. My plan is to not have the bunks installed in the front and use that space as an office. I'll be full-timing for a while and I work from home now, so will need space for a desk, tower and back-up server and small printer.
