Or even better yet, put a hold deposit on it so that you have first right of refusal!

@Southern_RV3 жыл бұрын
It’s unfortunately not that likely to be out the door at $21k. COVID has done a number on the RV industry. On one hand we had plant closures and parts shortages compounded with shipping issues. On the other hand it’s made a much larger segment of the US population interested in RVing. Those two things combined have brought about numerous new buyers leaving very little available new inventory. Your best bet at buying it close to your price point is to buy soon. The manufacturers have notified us that prices are going up on new incoming inventory. Give our sales team a call at 770-477-0552 and have them put together a quote!
