Even though I live in middle America, and the economy hasn't been hit as hard as the each of the coast, people aren't buying much around here and the RV dealerships are hurting.

That can be good news for people like me who arent in credit card trouble, mortgage trouble, or otherwise living beyond there means.

Just look at what i picked up today. I havent been able to find a toyhauler this size for under 7500. I bought this 2002 21' ft Thor wanderer for 4 grand cash.

A couple of hail dents on one side and the linoleum was bad. i am already in the process of re-covering the floor, ehh, i needed something to do this winter

what do you think?

I work for the biggest RV dealership in the nation and they have lost a ton of money. Most of there sales are on the negative side. I have seen them lose over 25000 to make a sale. My pay has been cut to the point now where I have to start selling stuff or it will go back to the bank. That sucks becouse I have a credit score of 801. Hate to ruin it but if you have no choice. There flat rate system sucks, I went to work for 6 hours and made nothing. The way they pay emplyees is getting worse. Its a terrible game with the customer on the loosing end of it.
