My wife and I bought the exact trailer except for the fridge 18 months ago. It was a 2016. Once the bugs were worked out, we are happy with the trailer. We paid approx. 36.5K.
We have two Honda 2000's run in tandem and have no problem with them handling the power usage for the trailer. We did not run both A/C units at the same time though.
Good Luck.

I’m still dealing with it. The guy won’t budge on price. And I’m not going to pay no $39,000 for a 2017 USED with newly notice tires need replacing!

HOW it already needs new Goodyear’s that’s on it being only a year old tells me one of two things. They put one heck of a lot of mileage on it or something is wrong with the axle / load / Springs that’s leading to major premature wear.

It sounds like you're trying to do the dealing in they are not. After reading all these posts, it's clear that there are a lot of fish in the sea. I keep fishing and look elsewhere. I've had deals that I didn't want to walk away from but, after making myself do so, the sky cleared and I saw a better things available.

Sorry, that's way too much money for a used 2017!

I'd suggest looking at a new 2018 330 RSTS---with a full, 2-year Jayco warranty. With the 2019's on dealer lots, 35% or more off MSRP (<=$35,500 w/$55,000 MSRP) should be a reasonable goal to shoot for---especially at a volume dealer.

When we've reached the point of knowing the exact unit (and options) we want, the price we're willing to pay, plus the ability to purchase immediately (cash or pre-approved financing), we always deal directly with the sales manager. Negotiations go much quicker that way.

You may find a dealer that's willing to do a steep discount on a 2019, but don't count on it. Jayco always makes year-to-year changes. Take a look at the 2019's. They may have made changes that, for you, may be worth a higher purchase price---you never know.

If you're willing to travel your chances of a getting a great deal increase significantly. You can save $1000-$2000 in freight charges alone the closer you get to IL.

Good luck!

I ordered, just picked up yesterday, a 2019 330RSTS. MSRP was around $65K and took it out the door for less than what they're asking.

Could very well be new and last years model. Bought a new fiver last October,
it was the last 2017, with all the new 2018 models at the L A show. List was
99,000, paid 61,000, and had a washer and dryer added. I think 33% discount off the msrp is pretty normal if you are a good negotiator. I had walked away and they called me at home. Finalized the deal over the phone.

What kind of a feeling do you have about this stealer, opps, dealer? They could have done a tire switch or there could be axle problems with the unit. It is the "Oh, bye the ways" that get you in life. Would do some in depth research on the dealer. BBB would be a start.

While waiting to take care of some warranty issues, we burned some time looking at two, new 2018 Jayco Eagles at a local dealer today. Both were discounted almost 40% off MSRP. Now is a good time to buy a new 2018 with the 2019's arriving on dealer lots everyday.

I got my eagle 321 loaded with all options, for 46,000, my rule of thumb is 33% off a real factory sticker, not one that has been made up, and inflated.......do your home work, no options for this would have been 39,000

COSTCO has an Auto/RV buyer program. Our 5th wheel's MSRP was somewhere around $62K loaded. We ended up paying $45K - around a 28% savings on a new 2018 model.

Is the camper already a year old discount 5K. Then 40% off that see how they come back.If not what you want I would walk! They will call you begging you to come back. We love doing that to car dealers also. Bought 2016 Eagle 321 RSTS new. MSRP 67 paid 40. Good thing that camper depreciates about 300 every month.We owe 28 and that's just about what its worth today.And once you get the camper there is warranty that's another story! Happy Hunting
