Re: Observations from a camper window shopping trip
chip.litch wrote: Hi all - don't post often but today the family and I went window shopping today at a few Cincinnati area dealerships and I wanted to share a few observations. 1. Campers are expensive! Campers that have nice fit and finish and enough size for the six of us are 10-15K more expensive than the most expensive car I've ever owned (our Excursion) 2. I heard two salesmen tell customers that their Toyota Tundra and 1/2 ton Suburban were well capable of towing 32+ feet trailers. Those trailers were massive. 2.5 Under her breath, my wife said about the Tundra family - "the only place he can tow that trailer is home - and only if its no uphill." 3. Doing your homework is vital. There is so much out there. To not get taken advantage of - one must hit the dealership with a binder outlining everything they want in a camper. 4. I was really unimpressed with the fit and finish of many 30K campers. Lots of rough cuts and edges, very thin materials, spaghetti plumbing, etc. 5. Lastly for us - I really think the joy of owning a camper would take a hit if we were into the camper 300-500 dollars a month. I guess we will keep rocking our payed for 2003 Timberlodge all the while ogling the nice new campers we looked at today. -------- Happy camping everyone. Be safe this weekend. Thanks to all you service members (past and present) chip What about Lamborghini Venovo which is about $4.5M? It is just like my dream car. What is your dream car?524Views0likes0CommentsRe: I'm a fool..

But, if it is cheaper online, that's where I buy. I think Amazon is the best place to buy products as i have done most of my purchasing from Amazon site online with discounted price.434Views0likes0Comments
