An Itasca Navion pulled in last night. They slept in their RV in the hotel parking lot. That seems a bit ballsy to me since they weren't patronizing the hotel. No one bothered them though. I think for the most part, business owners tend to ignore the smaller RVs when parked on their property. We don't stick out like the 40 footers do.

I got talking with the owner this AM. He told me it's a 2006 & he bought it last summer for $66k with 35k miles. The 06 and 07 navions and Views are 1.5 foot shorter than the 2008 - 2012 models. That extra foot and a 1/2 really makes a difference. He asked about our RV and I told him it was an 08. He almost fell over when I said we bought it from a dealer in NY, with 16k miles for $49k.

He is buying a brand new Class B today. He didn't say why he was downsizing. You'll probably see his Navion on eBay soon. He didn't like the dealers lowball trade-in offer.
That's cause you know how to get a deal! I might have to hire you to be my negotiator when my turn comes :P
ReplyDeleteThough I'm thinking my entry price will have to be a lot lower. This mobile living thing is starting to sound a mite expensive.
Maria, I know how to find a deal. I will say that!
ReplyDeleteFor the money, I really like the Toyota based mini RVs. They get good MPG and are cheap enough now that you cab buy the best ones for under $10k. Higher mileage, ratty-er ones for $4000 or so.
It all depends on what you're looking for though. Some people want small class B sized rigs and some want larger.
You let me know when you're ready to buy an RV and I will help you fidn the best one at the best price.
@Don - thank you for giving Maria needed encouragement. You rock!
ReplyDelete@ Maria - it's just a matter of time. You can do this!
DSD absolutely Maria can do it. Living alone in an RV is a bit daunting but you get over that pretty quick.
