I went to K and K campers in Millbrook AL today after work to see the 351THSS live and in person. Boy was that a mistake. Makes our 27RR look like a toy now. LOL
So the guy let us look all we wanted and let me dig deep to see how well or poorly it was assembled which I really appreciated and much to my surprise, I was really impressed!!! The 27RR is a great unit, but I spent several hours improving on what the factory did to quickly and poorly. I couldn't find any crappy workmanship on the 351THSS!
So after 1 hour of going through it. we sat down and I dropped the bomb on him that we already had a 27RR. He said let me run you some numbers on trade difference. (at this point he has NO clue I have been in the car business for 25 years). The owner comes in and asks me a few questions about the 27RR and then asks me what I want for it. I tell him and he agrees that its a fair number. He comes back with a counter offer that I just knew was going to be 5000.00 less than I wanted and it was ONLY 700.00 less than I wanted!!! Now you take into account the tax credit I get for trading instead of selling and I am now 28.00 AHEAD of where I wanted to be!!! Now for pricing on his unit. He is 3000.00 higher than I could order one from one of two wholesale outfits which means I have to SELL mine, order theirs, wait 8 weeks, drive 1200 miles round trip to go get and lose my tax credit of 728.00 because I can't trade in at one of these two wholesale places. It looks like I have a solid deal as long as the bank comes back with a decent rate!
I am still sitting here in shock that this has been so easy so far.
Now to figure out which 5th wheel hitch to buy..........................LOL
I WANT TO THANK YOU ALL SOOOO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP, INPUT, AND THOUGHTS!!! Yall have been GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
