Something to consider is sunset you are looking at a western edition in the west there shouldn't be a big amount of shipping cost. Some dealers in the east add between $1400 and $2000 for the shipping. Dealer prep is another cost to consider. If is dealer is $400 less then someone else but they charge a huge prep fee it's false economy.

When I went in I told them I only wanted to see their nicest, top line models (we were looking at bumper pulls at the time). They took me to the Eagle model if I recall and the salesman said it was the best Jayco had. I believe they were the 338 and 330 RET??

We thought our trailer had nicer/heavier wood for the cabinet doors - and they sounded "rattly" when closed, not a solid "thunk". We didn't like the flooring. The microwave was tiny compared to ours. The furniture looked OK but looked more like it had a plastic covering. Fit and finish just didn't "feel" top notch. Some of the trim was cut short and didn't completely fill the gaps. Lots of little things. On the plus side they had Maxxis tires on it! It had a leveling system but used 2 jacks in the rear and the tongue in the front which I don't like at all.

I don't remember the exact price but I do remember that it was way too high IMO. I told the sales guy "you must be joking". He wasn't.

Great to hear! Take time to organize a walkthrough process. There are some good resources on here that you can even print and take with you to the dealer. Some call it a PDI...but it's more of a customer 'walkthrough' I spent 4 hours on the walkthrough in my Bullet. It was my first RV. The tech was gracious and gave me all the time I needed.

Good luck, happy camping, and post some photos of your new coach.

Congrats, enjoy it. Make sure you have some marshmallows for roasting on that 1st trip.

Congratulations!! It's pretty fun to pick up a new trailer.

Be sure and do a thorough walk thru to make sure you know where everything is located. You said you've had trailers so you probably know how they function but sometimes they really try to hide stuff in them. Good luck and great camping!!

Congratulations on the purchase! Check the slides on the outdoor kitchen - ours was boogered up enough that it kept falling apart when it was slid out. They really need to be beefed up with heavier slides, something that's on my plans. When I do, I'm going to replace the little dual burner stovetop with a flat griddle. Also, our outdoor fridge likes to shift around, and the hinge bolt at the bottom of the door eats up the trim in front. Just FYI. Enjoy it!

After our 2nd trip out last year, i noticed scratches and scuffs on trim work adjacent to the mini fridge. Even though it's strapped down, the fridge tends to move underway. I had a peice of left-over yoga mat on hand that I placed under the fridge and 4 inches up each side wall and back. Worked like a charm. I also added another hinge bolt to the pull-out stovetop drawer as the single one installed from the factory was "loosie goosey" and was on the verge of failing. Now everyhing is tight and secure.

"Loosie goosey" is putting it in conservative terms! Like trying to cook on a waterbed!

Thats a good price for Washington. We are here also and chose the Bullet last year due to the passport at the time did not have the solid cap and the bathroom door had the big gap at the top.
