cadonnelly Posted May 18, 2017 Report Share Posted May 18, 2017 I have had a New Horizons fifth wheel towed by a series of Volvo trucks since about 2007 or 8. I have wanted a rear living room floor plan for years, and started looking this year. I winter camp in Montana a lot, and needed a well insulated fiver. Alpenlites are well insulated and have some floor plans I like. So found a Alpenlite Villa at Lazydays in Longmont Ca. Now buying from large dealers has never been an option for me, but I called, talked to a sales person who seemed very straight up, and flew out to Denver yesterday (from Mpls) I ended up buying the unit. It is in good but a bit dated, the year is 2003. Clean and everything worked. I had a comprehensive check list to use. There are things they want to fix, batteries are from 2006 and they will be replaced, tires the same, they will be replaced. A couple of latches and thats about it. Now what was new to me, never having dealt with a large dealership, was the excellent service and absolutely friendly reception I got at the dealership, from the sales person, to the technicians, to the detailers, all helpful. Never sure if I ever get a good deal but I was happy, and they are paying for half the transportation cost to Mpls, as I have HDT issues right now. So fun day and a new trailer to modernize a bit, and brighten it up. Chuckd Stillwater Mn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lazysusan Posted June 3, 2017 Report Share Posted June 3, 2017 We have a 2003 Alpenlite Augusta and we are very happy with it. The quality is superior to trailers that we have owned in the past. Hope you are happy with your new trailer. Safe travels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
