Hi all, Not sure this is the right place to post this and it wouldn't be the first time things were moved. Going like a bat out of hell with , all the info I have glommed onto ( Hitch, brakes , hookup..all kinds of pricing). The biggest price haggle is the 190 itself. Coaches has the best price but delivery adds $855.00 or pick up at 18 hour round trip @ $15,660 for a 2019 ( all prices without tax, delivery etc.) The next 2 dealers are 2 hours or 3 hours from us. Both are at $16,599 for a 2019 and$15,911 for an 2018. I see no added value in $600.00 for a 19..that helps pay for the hitch etc. Question being..are these rock bottom prices?No experience buying a TT..If I could bargain for a second battery to close the deal..worth it? A case of TT happy toilet paper thrown in? To the experienced TT buyers, what are your thoughts? Go for more or expect to go no further?

I bought two 6V batteries (and a cable to connect them plus battery boxes) and took them with me when I picked up our RP179 in December 2015. Igot a credit for the battery they would have installed that I used to purchase some accessories. All things considered, the prices seem pretty good to me. We paid around 16K for ours plus tax, title, license, hitch, etc. ------------- StephenH Happy is the man that findeth wisdom,... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7712 - ouR escaPOD mods Former RPod 179 Current Cherokee Grey Wolf 24 JS |

Both Stoltzfus in Adamstown and Crossroads Trailer in South Jersey sell their RPODS at close to Coach's price maybe $200-300 more. I did not find a dealer that throws in anything to make a deal. Although most include a propane fill, a battery and a starter kit which can be roll of toilet paper, water hose, 30-15 adapter plug and a very poor excuse for a sewer hose.

You can try to haggle some additional items like a sewer hose or such and you'll have more luck with them throwing in some extra's to seal the deal if they know you'll walk. Trouble is dealerships are few and far between in most locations so dealers tend to set a price and say take it or leave it sadly. The price of 16K for the 18 year model dosn't sound to awful to my deaf ears.

Stoltzfus will drop the 2019 price as soon as he sells all of his 2018. So offer him $15,600 for the 2018. He will take it. Tell him that is what Crossroads offered. Stoltzfus does negotiate to get them off the lot fast.
