Interested in looking at PUPs in the Houston area. Will probably start with a used one. What are some outlets to look for them? They don't seem to be too readily available here -- I guess because of our climate?
For new units, it appears that ToppersRV (Fleetwood/Starcraft) and LoneStar (Jayco) are the two dealers for new units. Am I missing any other dealers with decent inventory?
For used units, the Craigslist/Ebay attempts for our location don't seem to have a stellar selection. Lots of older "hunting" camps, etc.
What are some other dealers/areas I should consider to expand my search selections?
With Craig's list and ebay, you have to keep looking. On ebay, they only stay up for 7 days. My wife and I used to take a look every Monday. We bid on several until we finally found the one we wanted. From my initial desire to purchase took about 8 months or so. Drove the wife nuts.
I don't believe many 'outlets' cary used due to a small profit margin. You might look at the main chain's as they quite often get trade-ins that they will unload at a good price. It'll be hit or miss.
I think you may be challenged in TX due to the heat. We were there last summer and I wish we had hard sides, AC couldn't keep up. I would think PUP's would be less popular there, but I could be wrong. Might expand your search North a bit.
If you want a bargin, you have to look, probably for quite awhile.
