RV Show

La Mesa RV brought a lot of RVs to the Pima County Fairgrounds today and Sunday for a mini rv show.  They do this a couple times a year and this one was much smaller than the one in the spring.  There were more 5th wheel units than motorhomes, but they still had a very good selection of motorhomes.

We are partial to the Tiffin products and they had a number of 2012 units there to kick the tires on.  There was a good mix of gas and diesel units and most of them were new.  The first and last MHs we looked at caught our eye the most.  For only $215-221K you could be driving one of these beauties.  We liked two units in the 36-38 ft range that had most of the features we want.  We didn't talk price to the salesmen since they can't quote you a price.  They bring in the "finance guy" to talk to you.  That is, after they weed out the people who really aren't interested in buying.  We didn't get past the first salesman.

We were looking at one motorhome and a couple came into the unit and started talking to me.  I had chatted with the woman and they were trying to work out a deal on a 2012 Journey and thought they were going to buy it.  They couldn't get the figure down to where they wanted to pay for it and were looking further.  The salesman was right behind them when the lady said they couldn't get a deal, I said to the salesman they should shave off the price.  He didn't really appreciate my comment and a few minutes later asked me to leave "give them some privacy" since they wanted to take the unit for a drive.  We left and went to the next MH and lo and behold they showed up there about 4 minutes later.  The lady laughed about following us, so I told them we weren't going to be thrown out of two mhs for anybody.  We all got a laugh, except for the salesman.  He got a little case of lockjaw about that time.

We stopped by cousin Sharon and Al's 5th wheel for a short visit and a couple beers.  They are staying at the fairgrounds and were happy to have some company.  We hung around for an hour or so and headed home for dinner.

Gerry is a member of the Dairy Queen blizzard fan club and she printed out the coupon for a free blizzard and off we went to the DQ.  You have to buy a med blizzard and then you receive a medium or smaller blizzard free.  We can't eat a medium blizzard so we bring it back to the MH and put half of them in the freezer.
