Re: Financing companies you have used?
We financed our rig with a local credit union we joined to get the better loan. I too am not ashamed to say I financed my tax deductible RV loan. The memories and enjoyment worth the interest paid. And i guess I should also sell my house and wait 30 years and buy another one aince I don't have $230,000 to pay cash for my house.465Views0likes0CommentsRe: Trade In Value
The NADA book dealers use will show the same price you see as low retail without any options. We were quoted $10,000 all across the board for our Wildwood. With the options selected on NADA (most of them being repetitious) our 2011 booked out almost at 22,000 this week, more than you could buy a new one for. I took out tbe slide and fridge (built intp the floorplan) and it came in at $18,000 for average retail. I listed it online for $15,500 and sold it for $15,300 in less than an hour.564Views0likes0CommentsRe: average age of rver
I am 28 and have been RVing my whole life with my folks. My wife is 24 and we are now on our fourth trailer in 2 years (first one was 1992 bought it for $2500 and sold it for $3300, second one was a 1995 that burned to the ground six weeks after we bought it. Last was a 2011 Wildwood that we just sold for $300 more than we paid for it and pick uo our new 2014 Jay Flight on Friday).360Views0likes0CommentsRe: 2013 Wilderness 3150DS vs. 2012 Jayco 32BHDS
We just bought a Jay Flight32TSBH and pick it up Friday. We looked at the Wilderness and while nice, we just liked the Jayco tons more. It is a little nicer, but also a little higher in price. We virtually looked almost every bunk slide trailer, and was most impressed With the Jay Flight and the Jay Flight and the Cougar. The Jayco came down to the hard door for both the bedroom and the bunkroom. We did get the Jay Flight with the fiberglass siding.289Views0likes0CommentsRe: northern Utah state parks
You can hear a little noise from Willard Bay but there are plenty of trees so it isn't terrible. We have stayed at East Canyon and we enjoy it, albeit no trees. I wouldny waste my time at Holiday Hills. We stayed there couple of years ago and horrible rxperience. We had a 23 foot trailer in a spot "large enough" for a 35 footer and it was a tight fit. Mostly residents with a couple of campers. We live avout 20 minutes from Mountain Green vut wished I lived there. Absolutely beautiful place.259Views0likes0CommentsRe: Which cordless drill for your manual jacks?
I use a 18v lithium ion Makita and absolutely love it. It was originally hard to spend $200 for the drill/impact driver combo, but that drill is my baby. Best money I have spent on tools. I always bring the charger with just in case and have never had to use it while camping.204Views0likes0Comments
