Found the RV we wanted, price reflected that it was ROUGH for a RV with 2 seasons on it. Tires were…read moreflat, marker stains, lots of dings, etc. But, nothing worse than my kids will do to it, so it certainly wasn't a deal breaker.
Did the deal, negotiated out the made-up-cash-grab fees, and felt pretty good about it. Pick up day a week later, it was very obvious that since we negotiated out the "inspection" fee, no one did any follow up clean on the camper (a $1,200 "service", carried out by people who already work there, thereby costing exactly zero more dollars to the dealer?!). When I asked where the spare tire was, the guy asked me, legitimately, "Did you pay for one?". No, and I didn't pay for a hitch, specifically, but since campers come with one, there it is!
Get the unit out, it is great, everything works perfectly and we are happy with the purchase. But the tires still go flat every 2 weeks. Turns out, if you top up a tire with a hole in it, it will just go flat again! Who knew? Got them fixed and we are off to the races.
The $ guy was awesome, far and away the best part of the whole transaction. You can't really blame the other guys though, they are just salesmen.
Overall, would buy here again, but would stipulate that just because I don't want to pay your completely-made-up-doesn't-cost-you-an-extra-cent "inspection" fee or your not-legally-required-cash-grab-already-have-admin-staff-to-do-paperwork "document" fee, that work still needs to get done.
And I would reiterate that travel trailers come with spare tires. Every one, every time.
