Couch's RV Nation

fyi- I finally found time to post my photos/observations of the quality of my 2015 179 I bought at Couch's this winter and picked up in March. The post is in this sites Reviews section as its unrelated to Couch's, and is about the quality of my 2015 179 model. 

As stated in my prior post that I would return for a report on my buying experience with RV Nation here in Ohio. We were originally planning on our pick up around the 7th. Our 179 didn't arrive until this morning. 

Kobwo, the tow was very good on the way back to Central Texas. We probably should have taken a couple of days for the drive, we really wanted to get home after being away for a couple of weeks. I think my biggest frustration was the traffic. We came into Dallas on I-30 West to the 635, for me absolutely horrendous. Even if I wasn't towing it still would have been just as bad.

The only thing I've found with the TT so far has been the saw dust issue. We had a little bit on the floor after we made the trip home. We have not taken the trailer out yet, first trip will be next weekend.

That's really good that your TT is already at the dealership, sure makes planning easier. The dealership's building is pretty small but don't let that be a concern. The way I see it, if they build a big fancy facility, those costs would probably be passed along to the customer. The service/preparation area is nice and they have a large selection of TTs on site. I was told the 179 is very popular right now, guess that's what took mine so long to get built. That was mainly my fault because the dealer had one for me but when they called, I hadn't made the decision to purchase. A couple of days later I called to tell them I wanted it, too late, they had sold it. I think it took about 5 weeks to get another one.

One more plug for the dealership, a few days after getting home, the salesman sent an email checking that we made it home OK and asked how the trip went. I thought that was pretty nice.

Anyway, I hope you have a safe trip and a pleasant buying experience. Don't forget to let us know how it went.

Odd, I've never heard of them negotiating.  They discount up-front based on their bulk sales.

Just wanted to give a shout out to Ray at Couchs. He was very responsive and answered all of our questions via email. We contacted many dealers in our pod hunt and the norm was to receive either a call when we asked for email contact, not hear back at all, or to receive partial responses. Couchs gave us a great price and ultimately we purchased from a local(ish) dealer who matched Couchs price - just added their cost to transport the RV (which was less than we would've paid ourselves) and an extra $400 because it's the Hood River edition. Feel a little bad not purchasing from Couchs since they were so helpful, but buying locally was too good of a deal to pass up, so I figure the least I can do is give 'em a shout out here
