All Travel Trailer and 5th Wheel Camper Folks:

If you have ever considered buying a camper/travel trailer etc., rent one first. It's a lot cheaper.

+1 on renting before you buy.

It pays to watch closely and to read the fine print in any big ticket purchase. One thing that I do that cuts through all the buying excitement and showroom intrigue is to delineate in writing everything I want from them in the transaction...settle with them on a full purchase price...then, leave and review the agreement in private before returning with a check---no showroom financing. Btw, I purchased a trailer from a Camping World store several years ago using this method and paid only the agreed upon price. Maybe their sales force is trained differently now...hard to say. Note that I've never seen an RV that comes with everything you need, so plan accordingly and think about each additional item you purchase---some of it is stuff you may already have in a different wrapper. Cheers!
