Transportation is a big deal. When I bought my used 12' long Gammill, we had to rent a trailer long enough to transport the length. And it weighs 400+lbs. It took 5 guys to go up and down the stairs when we moved. Our DD and SIL have access to a stock trailer that's long enough. And our new house has concrete drive/walks and no stairs. Also, double doors so we didn't have to disassemble it.
When I bought it, I purchased a cashiere's check from the bank. She lived within 40 miles.
