    24 flagstaff on Dealer lot (used) they say once...

    Comparing exact models, how would I compare a 24 on the lot vs a used 24 on their lot? They said it is perfect and only used once and the buyer realized they needed a bigger unit. Is this considered new? I will be checking if the warranty is still good.

    Interesting video about dealer sales tactics

    Interesting video. Basically, if you buy a new RV from a dealer, you are on your own. The RV you bought, and any issues that might have come with it, are yours. The dealer is not even responsible or obligated to repair warranty issues if they dont want to. Here is the video...

    Locating dealer inventory?

    Is there a way to find out what dealers have inventory (or planned to arrive orders) of a particular model, in this case a DX3 32KD? Only a few dealers seem to post in RV Trader.

    Service without a local dealer?

    For those who do not live close to a dealership, how do you get service or maintenance completed if required? Does it just become a DIY project? We are shopping Dynaquest and the availability of a local dealer to us (Cheyenne, WY) is a concern.

    Large vs Small Dealerships

    What are your thoughts on buying from a small dealership vs a large dealership. We bought our first travel trailer from a large local RV dealership. They sold tons of RVs and as such got a pretty good deal. Problem was they had one maintenance bay and after sale service was not very good...

    I am just taking an informal poll with all the users here. I am wondering how many of you paid less than asking price at the dealer when you bought your RV new? I have only purchased one motorhome in my life, and the dealer wouldn't budge on the sticker price. I am currently looking at a...
