Need some advice
Im new here and hope I can get some advise. My SO an I are looking into a 19RR and want to know if this is a good toy hauler and if the price is right.
2015 Forest River Cherokee Grey Wolf 19RR Travel Trailer Butler, PA Butler RV Center
I was quoted 18,900 plus TTL
It already has power awning and power hitch jack - they told me they would throw in a reese WDH , brake controller all installed for the 18,900.
What do you think?
Thanks in advance!!

Welcome neighbor. Sorry can't help you with your question as we don't have a toy hauler so don't know what is a good deal and what isn't. We bought our 2014 Coachmen at Clems in Portersville area. We keep it permanently at Rose Point off rte 422 toward New Castle.

I didn't pay much more than that for my 2015 26RR Limited when we bought it last June. It came with a power awning, electric tongue jack, fold now screen door, upgraded furniture, keyless entry, battery, full propane tanks, and the dealer threw in WDH. In my opinion you could do better.

I agree way too much for a 19RR . You can get the 26RR for that.

I'm not familiar with the 19RR, but I can tell you that they are likely offering the cheapest hitch and the cheapest brake controller available. Not sure what you are towing with, but a pretty good recommendation regardless would be the Equalizer 4 point hitch and the Prodigy P3 brake controller. I would recommend you contact one of the nationwide dealers like RVWholesalers and compare prices before you sign on the dotted line. Very likely they can either sell it for less or get you a LOT more camper for the same money. Just my .02.

Dealers are not in the habit of putting their best offer out first. Chances are pretty likely they have inflated the price to start with. I would consider it a starting point.

Hey Bluewoo,
I feel that there is always need for some sort of warranty needs. That is the reason we bought ours from a local dealer. I know we could have bought our unit for about $1500 less but the comfort of having a local dealer to depend on is very important. At least it was for me. We had some warranty issues that were taken care of with no problem. Good luck in your decision, I do know that you will really like the 26RR.
Cheers

Two years ago I bought a 21 rr which is the same thing just a little longer for $14,000. This past spring I bought a 27rr that is 33'-6" and has a slide out (also a toyhauler) for a little over $18,000.

I live near Pgh. and if I buy another Forest River product it will be from this dealership!! I can tell you they are great people. Most dealers in the area didn't want to do warranty work if you didn't buy from them. These folks bent over backwards to try and help us!

The trailers look about the same - the 22rr has more couch space and a pantry but no wardrobe. I'd say it may be that you can fit more bike or bikes in a 22,
That is true about a lot of dealers unfortunately. I'd say stay in an area limited to your patience level. Really important is to do a PDI before you sign.

Yes ,blue woo, Butler RV. I have a Flagstaff that needed repairs and Clems RV wanted $100. to fill out warranty papers and a diagnostic fee of $75.00 per hour to repair warranty issues that were already approved by Forest River. I talked to Butler RV and they more than willing to do the repairs. However the trailer went back to the factory for a bigger problem to be addressed.
Butler RV is where I'm looking When I buy next time! Everybody I talked to there was extremely nice and professional.

Bluewoo, when we bought our 21RR, we actually went down to The Outpost RV to look at and buy a 19RR. The salesman showed us both and we decided that for just a little more money the 21RR would work so much better for us. When we're on the road a need a quick stop for a night we can still access the trailer and easily get to the "kitchen" area, one of the sofas (other is folded up to allow for the toys), bathroom and the bed. We would NOT be able to do that with the 19RR, don't think we could even get to the bathroom over the toys. I can tell you that we are SO GLAD we got the larger unit!!! As far as warranty work - we have had our small punch list of issues fixed FOR FREE at the FROG International Rally in Goshen the last two summers... A great deal and a really fun week, just sayin'....

Bluewoo,
All the Grey Wolf RRs would take a Goldwing. The differences are in the bedroom area and also the amount of weight they can carry. The 26RR carries 2,567 lbs of cargo, the 25RR can take 3,160 lbs, and the 19RR can take 3,432 lbs according to the FR website. The GVWR is 19 RR 7,574 lbs. and 26RR 7,715 lbs so that is almost the same. It's the overall length that is quite different from 19RR at 23' 11" to 26RR at 30' 8".
Look at the website page and you can easily compare all the Grey Wolf RR series.
Good luck.
