Hello...I put my zip into the dealer locator and I get a very small dealer that is new to Excel. I would prefer an experienced dealer.

What dealers might be both "near" Minnesota AND good dealers to buy through.

Most mfg have dealer that have a reputation for both pricing aggressively AND being very high service dealers. Usually they sell pretty high volume of their main brands.

WHat dealer might that be between MN and surrounding states...or as close as possible...maybe heading south...Thanks...Tom R

We bought our Excel from Bob & Joe's RV, Bob and Jo's RV Center: One of the Midwest's Largest Camping and RV Center. Featuring Fifth Wheels, travel and cargo trailers, fold-down campers, camping products and more., located in Guthrie Center, IA. Tom is great to deal with and is not a pressure type person. Good luck.

Anyone purchase through Rebel Camper in South Central Minnesota...I am advised that it is long time, quality Excel dealership?

Pricing discount "reasonable" to expect from dealers...ie; range high % to low %...is 25-30% possible...as with other brands?

Thanks for the direction...Tom R

P.M. me if more comfortable re; dealer discounting % experienced...TMR

Thanks White Eagle...I am aware of King's Camper but don't think they sell Excel? One of my other "choices" is a Class A Tiffin Allegro Bay...vintage mid to late 2000's...in which case I will go to King's Camper Tom R

We bought thru Rebel Camper. Found them very good to deal with--definately NOT high pressure. As we full-timed, we were never back for service, as normally just got things done when passing through KS or we were somewhere else in the country when we needed something. But we were always able to call and get help when we were still learning the ins and outs of the rig--or phone help with a kink we needed to work through.
We also met some folks in AZ who had bought there and were very happy.
They wrote a good deal for us with the % off the MLP that you referenced. This was also with a very fair price on our trade of SOB when we decided we wanted a FT rated brand.

Good Luck!
