Canada BS thread

Oilers VS Canucks! Should be a good series

 

Anyone in Canada buy a 20' or so RV lately

We have fallen in love with the layout and features of the Grand Design Imagine 15BH. It isn't perfect, but the best we have found. No slides, full queen, dining area, solar package, full sink, fridge, freezer

I'd prefer dual axel for safety and stability but have used single axel for 15y with no issues, one flat and it wasn't a catastrophe.

Anyways, the Canadian dealer MSRP is likely going to be around $46k (based on similar models that have the same USA MSRP. The dealer quoted me a few different models, same make, size but different floor plan and emailed a price of $39k + tax, starter pack (whatever that BS is).

I was thinking of offering $29,900. Which would be the online recommended 35% off. I'd stand firm on that and see what they say or counter with and be happy with $32k but feel $39k (15% off is far too little).

We will be buying it outright, no financing. So they won't make any money on us via interest but would be willing to add on a warranty (maybe) or indoor storage plan (as dealer is 15min from house).

We have looked for used, but haven't seen anything. Out last used one is 15y used by is and on its last legs. It was $12k well spent. We would Kijiji that one for $2-3k as it is a fixer upper.

Thoughts or advice?

 

Sounds like you know what you're doing. I can't really offer you any advice but good luck with it.

 

Hey all ! I’m a new guy but had to jump in on cdn bs thread . Located on the East Coast ,, well West Coast of NL so here we go lol .
Anybody want to see a salt water Tundra with Black lipstick ? I cleaned off the cover for a laugh . Helped with trade in value LOL

 

Welcome! Damn! lol. How you liking the new one.

 

Thanks ! The new work truck with the 8ft box is like driving a bus . Same turning radius ! Other than that the engine has been strong , no mechanical or electrical issues . Voltage meter fkes up and goes from 12v to 14+ when you left off throttle sometimes ,, odd lol . Tows like a train ! My maintenance crew uses the truck all summer and they’re towing 14ft trailer loaded with 0 turn mower , 48” walk behind , 24” mower , trimmers , blowers . All the shit for our property maintenance crew . Works well and the app is great for keeping track of employees movements . Shhhhhhh don’t tell them plz lol

 

I'd look to buy from Ontario, practically people stopped buying last year, so tons of brand new 2023 left over, most warranty is offered via manufacturer, and most are pretty reasonable if you find a shop near you willing to do the work and they just bill them, that's how mine was fixed when I went through the wiring fiasco last year.

Example, I bought our Winnebago from these guys, amazing prices, terrible service:

the 24SDS is now 50% off MSRP

I was bitching to the wife how an HD diesel is so expensive, but I wonder if someone is going to pay $140k+ taxes for a GX550.

I have been PM'ing with @Downytide this past week and he has helped a bunch.

We went to look at a few Winnibegos today and a second look at some GD Imagine. The Winnibego won for features, layout, build quality, dual axel, price discount (it's a new 2022).

I'm close to agreeing on this little setup. 17', no slide, solar, power everything, dual axel, good ground clearance, huge fridge/freezer.

It'll be our first new trailer.

 

Nice she looks good ! Does the fridge run on 12v only? Or with both propane and 12v ?

 

I'd argue GP is one of the best towns in AB now. Big changes since I moved here in 2011.

Now, let's make fun of Methbridge

 

This one is 12v only unfortunately. Our old one was propane and electricity.

We will add a second solar panel and likely a second 12v Battery when we replace the current one though.

 

Ya unfortunately, I believe they are all going that way but I could be wrong.
Last year we bought our first new trailer and same thing. I did get an extra battery, but I do want an extra solar panel, ours came with 200w.

 

lol a friend from Ontario send me that.

 

And Ded Reer.

 

You know why it's so windy there? Edmonton sucks and Calgary blows.

 

I live in the East side of Calgary so am the brunt of many jokes. Its all in good fun I think and I am the first to crack a joke about my hood.

 

I’m putting that one in my back packet and saving it for later.

 

That’s a good one. Well done sir.

Do you guys think someone would want a used 38gallon tank? trying to make a case with myself that I can sell the stock gas tank to subsidize the costs if I get the transferflow tank.

 

My guess would be no… but I’ve been wrong before.

 

There are often people that want the bigger tank to upgrade from 26 gal. It should sell.

 

Latest Recall in Canada - typical " we have an issue but no fix for it yet - Pls stand by...."


Toyota is conducting a safety recall involving certain Toyota and Lexus vehicles

 

When I had my 2015 I did the switch to 38gallon tank which I found from a tundra in a scrap yard. So I’d imagine someone would want it. Never know.

 

They have some "scratched and dent" units available and I'm tempted.

I've heard about this, I think eventually they will just give folks who fall into that year range extended warranty on the engine, probably up to 7 years and 160k km, currently its 5 years and 100k km.

I think overall there's 100k Tundra under recall on this, but then I've seen 2024s with spun bearing with delivery miles.
