Re: Getting the best price on a toy hauler
Ended up going with a different unit.. Did all sorts of research and settled on the Attitude before we went but ended up going with Shockwave by FR after we looked at all of the units they had. They only had one of these units so they were not as willing to move on price as much as I would have liked. They had about 7 Attitudes that apparently aren't selling as much as the Shockwave for some reason. We just liked the Shockwave better - it had way more options installed from the dealer plus other features that the Attitude just didn't/couldn't have. If you look at it from the MSRP to the OTD cost, it was 26.8%. If you look at it from the MSRP to the cost without fees, it was 33.3%. Which percentage do you typically go by to judge how good of a deal you got? The 26.8% or the 33.3%? Not sure what PDI is so I don't know if it was included. Not sure how to include an image... It wants a URL and these images aren't hosted anywhere.470Views0likes0CommentsRe: Getting the best price on a toy hauler
We went and bought our toy hauler yesterday. If I take the MSRP price and the price we paid for the unit, without tax, license and all of that, we got a 33.3% discount off MSRP. I couldn't get them to budge any further. lol I tried and tried. We're happy with the 33.3% though - I think it was a decent deal.472Views0likes0CommentsRe: Getting the best price on a toy hauler
N-Trouble wrote: The only place I have seen post better prices than THL is Best RV in Turlock. That is comparing Attitude toyhaulers. Its pretty well known however that Best RVs service after the sale is pretty much non-existent. Service at Best RV is nonexistent if you bought from somewhere else or do you mean period no matter who you bought it from them or anywhere else?470Views0likes0CommentsGetting the best price on a toy hauler
Hey all -- In the next coupe of days I'm going to be going to Toy Hauler Liquidators to buy a new toy hauler. Anyone have experience buying from Toy Hauler Liquidators? I'm wondering if anyone has any tips for me to get the best price on it. The list price is $52,128 and they're asking $39,950. I was told that if you can get about 30% off from the list price that you were getting a good deal. The prices that I just listed are about 30% already so I think the dealers are just getting wise and upping the list price to make the asking price about 30% so that they can get all they're asking. Does anyone know how else I can determine if I'm getting a good deal on the unit or not? Are there any tactics that I can employ to help put the advantage in our hands? Any help, tips, suggestions, or anything would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, -Alli6.7KViews0likes22CommentsRe: Help Choosing TV (By the numbers)
Thanks to everyone who replied. I really appreciate the pointers. I have also come to the conclusion that I would require at least a 2012 3500 Diesel DRW to make all of the numbers work. GCWR of that truck is 30,500. The GVW of the 5er is 14,500. The jetski GVW is 2000. The truck has a GVW of 13,000. Now the math: Truck GVW - 13,000 5er GVW - 14,500 JetSkis GVW - 2,000 --------------------- Total: 29,500 lbs. The GCWR of the truck is 30,500 so I'm under on that side of it. I've verified that I'll be under the limit for the rear axle as well - that wasn't ever a problem with this truck. The SRW version of this truck only has a GCWR of 24,500 so I'd be overloaded for it. Hope this helps out some others as well and thanks again to those who replied! -Alli330Views0likes0CommentsHelp Choosing TV (By the numbers)
Hi everyone.. We will be getting a new 5th wheel next year and I am making all the effort up front to get the right TV with the right hardware to which will end up in a great tow experience. The 5th wheel that we will be getting is the Coachmen Brookstone 315RL. These are the specs for this unit: Hitch Weight 2,350 lbs. (1,066 kg) Base Weight 11,230 lbs. (5,094 kg) GVWR 14,500 lbs. (6,577 kg) Cargo Carrying Capacity 3,270 lbs. (1,483 kg) Exterior Length 34' 8" (10.6 m) We will also be towing a jet ski trailer behind the 5th wheel with three PWC on it which will end up being about 2000 lbs. max. Now for the TV. We will get a Chevy 3500. What I don't know is what config of that TV will be required and how to absolutely know without any doubt that I have enough TV to pull that 5er plus the 2000 lb. jet ski trailer without being overweight and ultimately - unsafe. I've read a lot and the numbers are all over the map and very confusing. Most of the time I've been looking at the GCWR of the truck and then the GVWR of the truck and trailer itself and it almost always goes over the GCWR. Then I see people say that it's very difficult to get under the GCWR. How do I make a Chevy 3500 TV safe to tow the 14,500 lb GVWR 5er plus the 2000 lb PWC trailer and be safe? Any help here would be appreciated.. Thanks!2.7KViews0likes11Comments
