Well, we decided to buy a new 5th wheel at Lakeshore RV in Michigan.

We agreed on a trailer price and a trade in price. Then we ask for them to take off the 'starter kit' charge of $250...they did. Then we showed them the $1500 Montana coupon. All set with a new price...SAVED $1750.

When we brought our trailer in to take ownership of our new trailer they looked at the roof and because I had had a satellite up there---left the base on roof to not damage roof---they came back to use and said

'we have to reduce the trade in value by $1750.00 because you modified the roof...once by adding the satellite dish and then a second time by taking off the satellite dish' 'the only way to fix that would be to re roof the roof.'

We walked away from the sale. What a rip off.
