I had to move my propane tanks forward about 3-4 inches so the box would fit and I'd still be able to take the batteries in and out. Overall, I'm very pleased with the results. The toughest part of the job was removing the old 12v battery bracket. That sucker was TORQUED. Had to grind two of the screws off.

Hello friends-

Has anyone here ever cancelled an extended service contract? We have an appointment to see our finance guy tomorrow to take care of this, but I'm not sure what to expect. I can imagine he's not too happy we want to cancel, so I'm expecting a hard sell, or even (gasp!) some deception.

It's a Camping World location. We purchased on March 11th, and although I do take some responsibility, I feel like we were duped into buying a package of plans. He never once claimed that they were optional. He showed us a list of payment options for our financing. We chose the lowest, but it still included a bunch of add-ons we don't need. I contacted the plans' administrators and they all tell me to contact the dealer. We have, and we are to meet him at 9 tomorrow morning.

I have thoroughly read the contracts and as far as I can see, we can return them for a full refund.

Anyone here have any experience with this kinda thing?

Thanks!

When we got our trailer home last week, we discovered that our door lock didn't work. I didn't even think to check it at the dealership, the keys were tie-wrapped in the refrigerator. The key wouldn't go all the way in either key slot. The code on the key matched the lock, so who knows? Probably a result of sitting on the lot for a year. (Same reason I'll be upgrading tires before our first trip.) I'm sure I could have taken it apart and fixed it, but this was a nice excuse to upgrade.

We bought a keyless entry lock from RVLOCK. It installed in minutes and so far, it works great. I'm happy that my TT isn't sitting in my yard unlocked anymore!

Next up on the list- hardwired surge protector..

After months of research and visits to many dealerships to look at a variety of brands and plans, we've been led to Livin Lite. I am overjoyed to have found a new, 2016 13QBB within a 45 minute drive of our house! We finalize the deal and pick it up on Saturday. The sticker says built in Aug of '15. It was a "lot leftover" from when a Livin Lite dealership was bought out by Camping World.

I am not a new camper, but I'm new to trailering. This is our first RV purchase. From all the research I've done, I know I'm getting a good price. I looked it over quite well before putting a deposit on it last week, and I didn't see anything major. I didn't try any of the appliances- there was no battery or water where it was parked on the lot. I know we should (will?) be able to check everything when we pick it up. I don't have the typical buyer leverage because this is a one-off. I don't have several to choose from. It's priced to sell.

Any tips for a new guy before the walk-through? Any experience purchasing an RV from Camping World? I feel well prepared through research, from towing to basic operation, set-up, etc. but I am here to learn from you seasoned vets! We are excited to start visiting Minnesota parks starting this Spring!

Thanks in advance for all of your help and advice-

John (and Janet)
