                        Everything about the drive! Driving down the interstate, through heavy traffic, up/down steep hills, stopping for gas. All anxiety inducing!

                                    I personally have never had anything stolen, but I’ve had friends have both of their e-bikes stolen right off their RV overnight. A couple thousand dollars in value.

                                        Good questions above! It also depends whether you’re buying from a private party or a dealer:

                                        Buying from a Private Party:

                                        • Why are you selling it? This can give insight into whether the trailer has any issues or if the owner simply doesn’t use it anymore.
                                        • How long have you owned it? This can indicate if they’ve had enough time to know the trailer’s quirks or potential problems.
                                        • Has it been in any accidents or sustained damage? You’re more likely to get a direct answer from a private seller, but it’s good to ask to uncover any hidden issues.
                                        • Do you have the maintenance records? They may not always keep detailed records, but asking can give you insight into how well the trailer was maintained.
                                        • Can I take it to a mechanic or RV technician for inspection?
                                        • Do you have the title? Is it clean and in your name? You want to ensure there are no liens or legal issues attached to the trailer.

                                        Buying from a Dealer:

                                        • Is there any warranty or dealer guarantee? Dealers may offer warranties on used trailers or certified pre-owned units. It’s important to know what coverage you’ll have after the purchase.
                                        • Can I see the service or inspection report? Dealers usually inspect trailers before selling them and should have documentation of any repairs or service done.
                                        • What are the financing options? Dealers typically offer financing, so asking about interest rates, terms, and monthly payment estimates may help you get a lower rate.
                                        • Are there any additional fees? Dealers often charge fees for paperwork, inspection, or prep. Get a full breakdown of the cost beyond the sticker price.
                                        • Can I trade in my current RV or vehicle? If you have a trade-in, a dealer is likely to offer that option, and it’s good to know how it impacts the final price.
                                        • Can I negotiate the price or terms? Dealers might have more flexibility in negotiating, so asking about discounts, price reductions, or special offers can save money.
                                        • What’s the return policy or exchange policy? Unlike private sellers, dealers may have a return or exchange policy, so it’s important to ask upfront.
                                        • Are there extended service plans or roadside assistance packages available? Some dealers offer extras that might be valuable if you’re planning to use the trailer extensively.

                                            Thanks! Yea, I wasn’t expecting it to be perfect or even comparable to a home fiber connection, but just curious if it had  alot of issues. Thanks for sharing your experience!
