Anyone purchase from Toy Hauler Liquidators in Fresno? They seem to have some pretty good prices for r-pods. For a 179, the price is about $2,000 to $3,000 less than the exact same units here in San Diego. Seems worth the trip to Fresno to me, unless I hear something bad about them? http://www.funcarsmotorsports.com - http://www.funcarsmotorsports.com

| That's good to know. The sales person is very responsive when communicating via email. I worry there's a catch on why their price is so much lower. I'll find out soon I hope. |

| There was a dealer in Ky that was about 2000 less, but I suspected the same thing. I'm sure doing warranty work would be difficult locally, and I didn't want to drive a couple of hours to get it done, so I bought here. I thing they had rolled in their warranty forever into the price. |

| I was under the impression that you could get warranty work done at any r-pod dealership? The local dealership told me his customers come first for service work, but otherwise they'll do warranty work. $2,000 is a lot of money to save even for a 6 hour drive! |

| Yes, it is a bunch, but the other quote did not include any tax(which was over half the difference), risers, license, etc. I suspect the idea was to get me in the door, high pressure tactics. We did not get that locally. I have also heard of tactics that put a warranty repair of a purchased elsewhere unit at the bottom of the list. As the saying goes "You get what you pay for". |

| In my instance, I'm comparing apples to apples. Both units are identical. Both are price plus T&L. No PDI or anything else. The local prices is $2K more. |

THL deals in volume. They are not a stocking RV doo-dad dealership, you walk in, they have trailers, hitches, that's about it. If you want to browse flagpoles, toilets, dog toys, and a selection of 4 different poop hoses, go down the road a bit, Fresno has about 4 RV dealerships. The salesman was courteous, they had sales rooms for signing off on paperwork, and cold water to offer. It was 108 degrees outside when we went by & they took time to walk us around a bit. I would do the complete walk-through before leaving though, as you are a ways away. If I did not buy used, I would have purchased from them. I drove 12 hours away to buy used though... ------------- 2012 181G |

The manufacturers have what is call "Minimum Advertised Price" or "MAP" pricing for short. They only allow us to advertise a price so low. Many dealers violate these terms and the manufacturers wont go after the bigger dealers because they sell allot more product than the little guys. I am not here to advertise my business in San Diego (i am a proud owner of a 2013 R-Pod 177) I can tell you I will meet or beat any r-pod dealers pricing. If you ask for the owner or manager of my place. Happy Pod'ing! |

Well I was thinking of having a 12 volt power outlet installed, and maybe an inverter. Is that the type of services you offer? Or just sales? Thanks. ------------- |
