One was SOB in 2010 and then we bought a 2016 Cedar Creek last Feb.2015. We did have one issue in buying our last unit at the show. We where not looking to buy any 5er at the time; but could not pass up the deal that Forest River and the Dealer provided us on the trailer.

Hows that Smarty?

Congrats on your(not having to set up) TT.

We bought a 2016 Sanibel 3701 Residential last June at the Kentucky RV Show at the Horse Park in June 2015. Dealer was Northside RV in Lexington, Ky. Salesman was Jason Grimm. Very good deal and dealer. Very few problems and very good service from this salesman and dealer. Would recommend them highly. Also Remmy (salesman) was a lot of help.

bought just before Labor Day weekend from krenek rv in Coloma Mi. Great salesman and good prices. Much better than the snotty salesman we were trying to deal with at general rv in wayland. We were only able to use it 4x before we had to put it away for the winter. We love it so far and so do the kids.

We will probably go too. We usually just get koozies and other junk. 2 years ago, we did look at a, same make/model of our current camper there before we ordered since there weren't any others within several hundred miles.
Last year we were shopping boats.
Who knows this year!!!

If you don't mind which dealer or what does he sell those for?

Mike,

Of course it depends on the options you buy. Check his website couchsrvnation.com for pricing. Fill out the form for a quote and it will be much lower than the advertised price.

We went to the RV show in Milwaukee today. It was the strangest thing, we were only approached by ONE salesperson. We were there for 2 hours, too. I even had one sales guy look me dead in the eye, then turn right around and walk away.

They must not have been on commission.

We picked up a new Surveyor 251rks last Saturday. We love the layout of the trailer with the exception of the bathroom door, you can't open it with the slide closed. We have owned travel trailers for the last 30yrs, everything from a 19ft to a 39ft 5th wheel with 3 slides, but at this time of our lives this trailer seems to be perfect for us. We're going to make our first overnite about 3miles away at Harris Beach to check everything out. Anyone else with this model, tell us what you think. At 68yrs old we are looking at at least 10 to15yrs of permanent vacation.

Bought our new Heritage Glen 368rlbhk fifth wheel from Ruffs RV in Euclid OH in the fall. I'm sure I paid close to what I would have at the show. I got the show stopper add ins as well.

Ordered 272RL at Hershey September 2015 show in PA. Build date of 11-2-15. Picked up at dealer on 1-8-2016. ( holidays created delayed pick up on our end)
We were looking prior to show, waited for show had a dealer we liked, they were at show, what we liked at show was offered by another dealer at a great price. We presented numbers to the dealer we liked they agreed to show price. The rest is history.

We picked up our 2016 Coachmen Chaparral 390QSMB this past Wednesday, January 13th. I have been looking at the midbunk models since seeing a Sandpiper at the RV show last winter. I had a 13 year old traditional bunk house and wanted more open living space and a lot of windows at the rear like a rear lounge model.

I have been seriously looking for about 2 months. Went to all of our local dealers to see the mid-bunks they had and check out the overall fit and finish on the various brands. I had a list of "must haves" and "nice to haves". Everything that looked good on a web site, didn't cut it when we looked at it. Even the Sandpiper we really liked at the show last year came up short in a few key areas. We extended our circle to dealers within 3 hours of home. Drove nearly to Chicago from St Louis to see "the one" only to be disappointed. A friend on a Disney forum suggested a couple of dealers near her. I had missed looking at one of their websites during my searches. One of the dealers carried Chaparral 5ers. For some reason I hadn't checked them out on the web, but when I did the Chaparral started looking good.

I drove the 2 hours last Saturday, in rain changing to snow, to look at the 390QSMB, expecting to not like it, and within 5 minutes my wife looked at me and said, "I really like it, I think this is the one". The more I looked around, the more I couldn't find anything I didn't like. The only box on my list of "haves" that it missed was a large fresh water tank. My old 5er had a 62 gal tank. This Chaparral, only a 48. We dry camp a lot at state parks with only electric hookups. I could stay out 4 or 5 days in my old 5er without needing anything. I'll have to see how long 48 gallons will go, but everything else about this trailer is right.

I made a silly offer at the dealer (over 30% off MSRP and a reasonable trade on my old 5er) and she said, "When do you want to pick it up?"

4 days later, in better weather, we drove up, did a decent PDI, signed some papers and drove her home.

Just waiting now for the weather to improve so we can go out on our first real trip.
