 dee106Looking good!
 
 Anyone with a camping web site featuring info on your hybrid should join the Hybrid WebRing. Just something I started to get a list of hybrid sites going. (similar to the PopUp WebRing)

 dee106We have a TrailManor too--not exactly a hybrid, but not exactly a regular popup either .  (I havent noticed any TM owners suffering from identity crisis yet, though)[;)]

 dee106We purchased a Stracraft Travel Star 23rbs in January but still have the Niagara pop-up which is for sale.  Used the Travestar once and it was great.l

 pirpcamperOk, I guess you can add me to the list now. I ve placed the order for my Trail Cruiser C-23B, it s being custom built with ALL the options, and should be ready for me to pick up in about 5 weeks! It s a done deal, I put down the deposit on this morning, and the financing is already approved!

 pirpcamperJust curious.....for all of those who have traded in there pu for a hybrid.....do you get a good deal or do you loose alot of money by trading instead of selling it yourself? Also, how does the financing go...how much do you have to put down and how long can you finance it for? Whats the oldest pu that has been traded in? Thanks for any info!

 Foxyladieswell we bought our SC pu in 2000 for 9000.00, fully loaded,we trade it in for 7000.00 and bought 2003 SC fully load. We didn t have to put anything down, because of the trade in, and we financed it for ten years.
 
 one dealer was only giving 4000.00 on a trade in, [: (] another said 5000 max[: (] and his hybrids were more money, we found a place in NH and they gave us 7000 on the trade un-seen, and another 1000.00 off if we bought the 2003 that weekend, because they were having a 1000.00 off sale on all 03 models that weekend, so really we saved 8000.00   so we went on vacation with a pu and came home with a hybrid!
 the highest offer we got for the pu on -line was 4000.00 and i knew if i waited and wheeled and deal i could do better and we did![:D]

 pirpcamperFoxyladies...
 
 I m not trading my PU in, I ve got it listed for sale. I knew from the gitgo that I d get more money out of it by selling it for close to full retail. And if I can get what I m asking (very reasonably priced) I can then take that money and pay-off the note on my Jeep (2 years left on that loan).
 
 As for financing, I took a rather unconventional direction. Instead of using RV financing, I went to the Credit Union where I do my banking at. They approved me for a loan based on 100% of the trailers retail/MSRP value. That being said, the trailer MSRP is a little over $16,000, but I m buying it from rvwholesalers for $12.600... The credit union said I could borrow the full $16k against it, and use the extra money to pay-off the PU and my laptop. The only thing the Credit Union insist that I pay out of pocket is the TT&T....[:D][:D][:D]
 
 Oh, and this note is for only 5 years at 7.49%. The payment is about $5 per month higher than the Jeep payment, but since I m going to pay-off the Jeep with money I get from the PU, and won t have a payment to Gateway anymore, I ll come out paying about $50 per month less than what I m paying right now. It just makes sense for me to do this![;)]
 
 While the Credit Union didn t require me to pay a down payment, the dealer needed one to place the order for custom build. But it was minimal ($250) and will be applied to title fee etc... I just put it on my Visa card!
 
 I suppose I ll miss the PU...[:(] (For a while anyway), but I know I ll enjoy the Hybrid just as much, perhaps more so!
