Part two: How we purchased a Roadtrek 210P
We spent some time doing research. Years, actually. We eventually rented a Class B. For a blog post on that, go to this link:
Shortly after our rental experience, as luck would have it, in late November 2013 I saw an internet ad for a new Roadtrek 210P at a good price in Ohio. I emailed the sales manager and said, among other things "What is your 'drive it off the lot' price?" He responded and so I called him. After the conversation G and I discussed and I called him back and made a verbal commitment. We were planning a short trip to the east coast for Thanksgiving, so we decided to combine this with that family visit. We packed a fresh turkey in ice and drove via automobile to Ohio en- route to family for the holiday. Upon arrival at the dealer we looked the vehicle over, drove it a little, discussed the financial details and gave a sizable deposit. We then continued east in our car for Turkey dinner.
We actually drove with the
ingredients for a Thanksgiving dinner about 1,000 miles to the east coast. We
carried a fresh Ho-Ka turkey from Waterman, IL, acorn squash, freshly
made cranberry sauce, etc. On the morning of November 28, on schedule, we
arrived in CT, but there was no one home to meet us. LOL. I carried all of it
up to the door and stacked it as we waited for the family to arrive and let us
in.
An hour later I was preparing the
turkey, giblets and so on for the dressing, etc.
After a pleasant stay we departed NY
and CT on December 2 and returned to the dealer in Ohio. We completed the
purchase and G remarked "This will transform our lives".
I asked G to snap a photo as the keys were turned over to me.
