Used RV Dealers new tacticks
Thanks John,
I am persuing this but do know I will make it a lesson. My mom tells me I trust people (too much) and that is a plus but I do feel the pain now and then. I do like to share and this is why I wrote this. I figure maybe someone else may get to read it and not be taken. Then again maybe not. :-) I do look forward to the day I have the RV that will allow me to go on the vacation I have not been able to do since I met my wife 7 years ago.
