Looking to buy my first TT and need help deciding. Maybe you guys can help a bit. It's good to have options but the more you have the more confusing it gets.
1)I have the opportunity to purchase a really clean 2016 Jay flight 26bh that I saw yesterday. Out the door price is 16k with brake controller, anti sway wd hitch installed, new battery, full propane, and full prep. The good part is it's located about 65 miles away. I really wanted the elite package and this one does not have it. I particularly like the skylight In kitchen and bigger water tank. This one doesn't even have the rear ladder that is obviously useful for many reasons. Can that be added easily? The sales guy was great, honest and not pushy. That's a huge plus these days.
2)I see a 26bh In TX that looks even cleaner, has the dark brown interior that we prefer and the ladder. It's also 1k cheaper out the door but is located over 1000 miles away and I'm not sure how I feel about making my 1st trip that big of one without any prior experience under my belt. I could also ask them to camp out in their lot the first day and test everything before slowly making my way back to the NJ area.
3) 2016 fiberglass 26bh listed at 17k ( I have not called to negotiate a price) with our preferred brown interior located in the sunny state of Florida where we own a home about 20 minutes away. We were planning on driving down in June after making 1-2 local test runs so we wouldn't have the pleasure of doing that. However was thinking we could camp out locally down there a couple times before the long voyage home. Like the fiberglass look But worried a bit about delaminaton esp since it's been sitting in FL for the past two years.
4) I didn't want to buy new for my 1st TT but see a brand new 2017 26bh located 100k miles away. Wow!! New stainless steel appliances,elite package, extra skylight and larger water tank. Asking is $17800. After taxes, destination etc.. will be closer to 20k if they are not flex on the price taking us out of our intended price range of 15-17500.
5) keep waiting to find a 2016 elite near me
