Unless you are going to buy a 200 thousand dollar ...

Unless you are going to buy a 200 thousand dollar rv I feel you are going to be spending that on just the maintenance of a fifth whell or travel trailer . We were in the process of jumping in to the rv experience but after doing thorough research the unfortunate fact is that the travel trailers are cheaply made and it takes preventative measures to ensure the trailer is kept in shape ie Eco Pro annual roof maintenance just to name a few. The particular WildCat we were about to hand over 47000 dollars for looked as if was glued together, "in fact it was". Also I think the model we wanted was used as a demo, the a.c. had appeared to been in use for a extended length of time being the drip/condensation trail was obvious and it had water in the tanks. We were advised that if we were not going to buy it allow someone else to buy it. I'm sure it is still sitting on the lot as it appears it has been for a extended length of time. Due to Personal matters we were not able to take possession for 4 months so I contacted Airstream to order a fresh model that will take the same length of time . We had misgivings once we moved to North Florida we noticed so many travel trailers and fifth whell travel trailers bleached out by the sun rotting on the sides of most people's homes or simply abandoned . Travel trailers prices are based on what is inside of them other than it being on a Z Frame or if it has independent suspension. The shower walls were extremely flimsy as well, higher end modles have a single insert. I questioned that fact and the salesman suggested not to take steamy showers Lol .We moved to North Florida for the sole purpose of acquiring a rv. Be wise and research what you may purchase and not just take the person's word that is trying to sale it to you. And yes the slide outs are known to leak over time. Airstream puts their trailers through a soaking process to find any leaks if any. I hope my review doesn't rub any one the wrong way, I'm only stating what is factual. The staff at Lazy Days was very kind in helping us with no pressure. If you are a thorough person whom looks to the far future of your investment as I have be wise about what you may purchase. It may cost you more money initially but who has 50 grand or more to hand over these days? The best thing I've heard from Lazy Days is the statement: We put our customers safety first and our promises second. And yes manufactures have a msrp and a dealers price , and the price the dealership is able to buy it for from the manufacturer. I was saddened to notice most of the people in the lobby were there waiting for some kind of maintenance being done on their RV . Its a luxury item that has its luxury cost . The unfortunate thing is most businesses lost their way and it's all about how much a business can get out of the customers pockets.
