Roxy,
 
Where did you buy yours from and what did you pay?  I'm going to be buying one in October or November.

I checked after you posted that and it was up, I wonder how often they take it down every day?  Confused

I bought mine (172) from giant RV in Murrieta. I had called a dealership in Texas and had a price quote of 13,500 with the dome shade and all extras included.   I called couches and they quoted me $500 less but shipping would eat that up plus additional shipping costs.

I went to Giant RV near Ontario and they said they couldn't meet the price.,
I went to Murietta and they agreed to meet it. I also bought the cover for $300.00 which is the price quote from texas. It included shipping Then I had to add CA taxes and license fees. Out the door was $15,000 plus. I would have to look at my receipt. I charged it and then paid off my bill so I had the brownie points on my credit card.

I haven't used mine yet as it is getting 'modified' to fit my dog and me. Plus I am still buying all of the goodies needed to outfit it.

Good luck on your purchase.

Interesting.  I never thought about charging it to a card.  If you do that, can you still write off the interest as a second home?

I did the same thing to get the sky miles.  I could borrow someone else's money for a month with no interest.

I got my 173 at a dealership in Texas. I saw Couches price on the internet and took the information to the dealer close to where I live. He matched the price, plus all the extras thrown in including the Dome. Of course I still had to pay shipping, but I think I got a good deal at 13,499.

We have contacted Couches about ordering an R 177. The price was great. Don't know exactly how the financing works. Do you make a deposit and pay balance upon delivery? Sending this much money to a stranger several hundred miles away is a little scary!

Would appreciate feedback on your experience.

Thanks!Shocked
