Will take a better pic when we hook up for our first trip....

 

Our rig.

 

 

2015 Elkridge. 42' long with 5 slides.

 

No toyhauler in the 5er, so I improvised.

 

Decided to upgrade, the old one was ready to go...

 

Dave, that is one of the most aerodynamic 5ers I've ever seen.... The nose cone is like a bullet....
Congratulations again on your latest acquisition! I'm sure you and the family are going to have a lot of great memories made with this..

 

Thanks Randy! It's lighter too, but I got better mpg's with this. A solid 2.5 mpg better.

 

You pulled the trigger eh Dave? Good on ya! Looks great...

 

Yeah, just picked it up. Got what I feel is a great deal. So far this is working out great!

 

That's great. Most people don't realize how much you can get off the fake MSRP on trailers. I think ours was about 36% off. Try doing that with a truck! LOL.

 

For sure. I'd say we were at the same "savings" under msrp. Not getting anything like that on a vehicle.

 

I wish I had known that there was sooooo much room in the MSRPs back when I was looking at new ones... Oh well, this one is paid for and it seems solid...

So how is the first camping trip working out Dave?

 

Working great! Still have lots of packing and so on to do. But liking what we got.

 

Boats and RV's are both that way Randy. Lots of people don't know it. Imagine if you didn't know it and bought new? I've seen quite a few posts where that happened on the RV forums. Other posters always try to console the buyer by saying that if they thought they got a good deal at the time, then to just go with that feeling and not second guess themselves. That would NOT have helped me if I was the one who overpaid. I also see a lot of overpriced used rigs and I'm certain that most of them overpaid from the get go and have no idea that their used price is higher than what someone could go buy a brand new one for. It's a dirty industry when it comes to sales...
