2016 26bhs what dealer offered

Hello,
My parents sent me to ask some questions. We are looking for something with a u dinette , bunk beds, my parents will sleep in the master bedroom , my husband I (he’s a big guy belly and I’m small I’m 5’2” no belly)
Three children under age of 6 but would like for them to be able to play and sleep in the bunks when they are older.

So My first question is : how is it like sitting in the bunks? I’ve sat in the Jayco and if I lean back slightly I don’t smack the ceiling even on the bottom. The kids have plenty of room.


My mom and dad were Looking and got to go over with a Used Keystone technician sans sale person (hmm now I’m getting skeptical) He walked through several with then and even climbed on top of a neighboring trailer to look over the roof. He showed us the PDI list they have at the rv place. He went through everything on it with them my mom says.

I’m just going to copy paste from my mom

Checked the black water tank, the fridge, took apart the dinette, got into corners of trailer and sniffed for mildew. Showed us the wheel bearings, axles, what slides to look for etc. Remember how I kept saying about the slide out in the one Jayco seeming to "dip" in the center? We were in a KZ when he came in and asked if we had any technical questions. He was upfront and stated he was not a sales person but one of their independent technicians and was just answering any technical questions folks had. He said KZ was a very good manufacturer but don't buy the model we were in as the slide had a dip in the center and that would lead to a water leak!”

“So a question for your Keystone group.
2016 Keystone Hideout 28 BHS. One owner (traded up for a Grand Design $50,000 thing -we spoke with the sales person who sold the Hideout originally). Dealer will repack bearings, re-caulk outside putty, add spare tire, put on new hitch with weight distribution, sway control. Plus adding slide topper. Cost $20,921 including tax and tags. Comes with a 90 day limited warranty (have to read that).
I think it breaks down like this:
$17,500 for rig
$1,950 for the other stuff
$1,167 tax
$300 tags
Does that sound fair and should we offer less?”

Ok now back to me asking here. I’m skeptical they happen to have a technician.
He is paid by the company no? So of course he’s going to recomend the trailer?
Also how “tight “ exactly is the hideout? We had all of us except my husband in the Jayco jayflight and I wouldn’t go any smaller then that.

Any input would be helpful.
I know my mom and dad were concerned with delamination and leaks. I just don’t want them taken advantage of.

Thanks in advance.
