Been Priced Out of Imagine with New Increases

D Pisano you said it all! Buyers remorse can set in fast, especially if you gotta pay to store the new toy bc your home owners association doesn’t allow you to park them in your DW. Some of my co-workers have been unpleasantly surprised!

Yes, I forgot about that too :-). One of our colleagues bought TT, used it twice, and pays $200/month to store it, complains about having to drive and pick it up, pack up all their belongings to bring to RV, and the massive effort. In-fact, as they can't park it in their driveway or fit into the driveway based on the decorative trees and limiting turning radius, they have to pack everything in their truck, drive 20 miles one way out of their way to get RV, pack it up, and then leave from there.

Then, they drive to location an unpack it. This and the RV just sits year-round in the sun and environment on the storage lot while not in use 99% of the year. I told him "at least cover it during the "off-season"". He said, "the off-season is the entire year, what a waste of money." Just to0 inconvenient.

I have to say, if I had to drive to the camper to get it and then go, I would reconsider. Having the ability to store in back acre and keep plugged in, pack up, wash and remake bed, and put food into it before we leave, along with the ability to just pull up stakes and go while unpacking at home makes this SO much more convenient.

Its unreal how the "emotion" of "glamping" while sitting in a new camper makes people fail to consider all the costs and unintendend consequences.

Can't speak to Imagine vice Transcend, but I can tell you that tri-fold sofa is a horrible sleeping experience. Regardless of age.

Good luck.

I agree with Rob. My advice to anyone interested in buying an RV would be to be patient. Stay on the sidelines; keep your powder dry. I think there are going to be some great deals to be had over the next 12 to 18 months - in both RV’s and TV’s.

I feel the same way. Chevy dealer has a brand new 3/4 on the lot that I would love to have, but they are getting full retail + their fees, etc. I'm hoping a year from now we will be seeing rebates and other deals.

I also have my eyes on a GD 2600RB - but I'm gonna wait.

With rv dealers not going lower than MSRP anymore and the recent price increases, the model we were interested 303RLS will run about $20,000 more than before Covid. This is terrible and stopped us from any plans of upgrading. I'm sure alot of buyers are rethinking their plans to buy.
