FOUND Looking-560 Ultra - Pittsburgh

Re: Looking for a 550 Ultra or Classic - Pittsburgh

Eric-n-Joan,
I'm figuring the travel to pick-up amounts to being just another "adventure weekend" ... granted costs of gas, mileage, etc. is a true cost, but one that I would incur if I were simply camping that weekend anyway ... so, I'm disregarding that with respect to the purchase expense (so long as I don't have to travel 3000 miles across the country). That said, I'm just not seeing anything come available - all you Camp-Inn owners seem to love your teardrops so much that no one is ready/willing to give them up. I'm sure that also explains why they seem to maintain their values so well - yet another reason I like about them! ... Thanks, everyone, for your thoughts and insights. Regards, -Dan

Yup, Dan, our +4000-mile round-trip to pick up a 6 year old 550 Classic was indeed an excellent Winter adventure. And double-yup, CI owners pamper their TD's, all my friends and neighbors think our Vuggie is brand new. When I hit Necedah to get a bumper installed, Cary and Marty both said "Welcome to the family." CI treated us used buyers just like new buyers. Be patient--we waited over 6 months for ours. Regards, T
 
Re: Looking for a 550 Ultra or Classic - Pittsburgh

... camp-out on the way there ... Camp-Inn on the way back ... both ways an adventure! And ... to your point ... Cary has been very respectful of my inquiries - what a great way to build confidence and marketability for your product! I can think of a few other businesses that could learn from them.

Bear ... haven't heard back from you ... I'm guessing you're on a "walk-about" & outta touch ... please gimme a shout when you return as I'm anxious to connect. Highest Regards, -Dan
 
Re: Looking for a 550 Ultra or Classic - Pittsburgh

We won't get our trailer until late summer but it is comforting to know that the CI's are so hightly valued and apparently hold that value for a good while. We were originaly looking at high end pop up campers. The best out there were pretty flimsy and had a cheap feel about them. Their value drops by one third as soon as you leave the dealer and by half after a year or so. I have yet to see a CI trailer in person but already feel I have made a great investment.

Hi Bear ... wow ... sorry to say, but it sounds like a bit more of a "project" than I'd be willing to take on. Thanks for being forthright and upfront ... and, if I can't find something else, I may yet be back in touch. Regards, -Dan

To all my forum friends ... I am now the proud owner of "the Foxtail" ... 2011 560 Ultra SUV (#485)... traveled 1300 miles round trip for it and paid way more than I'd hoped, but am happy with the deal ... its got everything I wanted, plus a ton more ... tows like a cloud ... and, most importantly, my wife loves it! Thanks everyone for your help and advice. Regards, -Dan
