Looking to Trade?

This is probably an unorthodox post, but it might work.
I love my fairly new 2018 22’ Minnie Winnie Spirit with 6400 miles but am preparing for an almost six month stay in New England in May and would love something bigger.
A 27’-30’ class A or C would be fabulous.
Either a permanent or temporary trade would be great.

I'm not sure I see the advantage of a trade, at least a permanent one. It seems like you're limiting your pool of potential "buyers" as well as "sellers" in that they need to want your's and you their's.

It seems like you'd have a better chance of finding the rig that fits you best by selling and buying.

Is there an advantage I'm missing, like assuming each other's loans? If you're heavily financed, you'll likely be upside down in terms of selling your's.

Hi Bob,
It’s paid off.
I’ve been to dealer.
As you know, what they want on a trade is ridiculous, and what they have in stock...ehh.
There is a 27’ 2015 Itaxca Sunstar but it’s got no warranty left, and I’m not handy.
$5500 is what they quoted me on a five year limited but that excludes a whole host of potential issues.
Thought that there might be an option here but you’re right, I’m probably better off trying to sell it on RVTrader and going up a little in size on another.
It’s just that for ordinary local camping trips, this 22’ is perfect.
Thanks for your input.
Sure you don’t want to trade?

In addition to Winnieowners.com, you should check out the Toads and Motorhome Related Towing forum on irv2.com:

Toads and Motorhome Related Towing - iRV2 Forums

When you start researching toad braking systems, consider the Ready Brake products. They're 100% mechanical (no electrical or electronics to fail), less expensive than other options and most who own them love them. The ReadyBrute Elite is a combined braking system and towbar.

As it turns out, I needed a dolly.
Signed onto that group you recommended above.
Thank you.
