98 and change for a new UFO! Totally amazing.

What a good time to buy a new motorhome. But what a bath I would take on the trade.

The video was a nice touch. I don't think that you can do much better RV walk through over the Internet than what we see in the video. It sure beats pictures.

I traded my 06 Prowler 33ft and a 2000 30ft Winnie class "C". I traded for an 08 Itasca 35A on a Ford I got a large discount off the window and What I paid for both trades or more. Don't give up I shopped for almost 2 years, for the deal I wanted and walked away from many offers.

How does one determine if these units have the correct water pump?

This may not be the VERY cheapest, but McClain's in Rockwall, Texas has a Destination 39W for 109,998. Also a 39' Adventurer for the same price. If you don't have a trade-in and neeed a new one this is a good deal.

I recently saw a flyer from CW-RV Sales that offered a new 2008 Itasca Lattitude 37G UFO for less than $115K, so the deals are out there.

There have been a few on Ebay. There was an Itasca Latitude listed with a $99,900 Buy It Now, that folks bid on and didn't sell, item #150309659538. It showed up again at $89,900 with no reserve, Ebay item# 150310980799, didn't sell. The auction did say they had an offer, looks like they were trying to beat it with with Ebay's help. Someone got a Latitude for under $90,000 it would appear.

I agree, deals are definitely out there...

You can't for sure. If Workhorse can they have not said how. Rumour is that if the chassis, not the house, was built after 7/07 it may have the FCA problem, if made earlier, like mine, than maybe it doesn't. I knew about the problem before I bought but I didn't let it stop me. Things you know might happen are easier to deal with than those you don't know about..like slideout issues but don't get me started.

Gotta go make jello ... BRB! Have a nice holiday.

So, If I contact WH with my VIN number, I can be notified if I have a Possibly bad FCA? I think I would like to know that info so I think I shall make a phone call on Monday.
