Buying our first Fifth Wheel

My husband and I are just starting to shop for a 5th wheel to begin our camping life. How negotiable are the prices quoted when visiting RV shops. Of course they tell us each time the price they are giving us is the sale price. How do we negotiate that price?
Thanks

    Prices are very negotiable especially at RV shows. A 30% discount is about average so don't let the MSRP scare you off. If your offer is refused then get up and walk away. If they chase you down then they can go lower. If they don't chase you down then you've found the lowest price they'll agree to.

    Have you been RVing before? If this a first ever RV, shop used. Dont get suckered into a brand new and lose 30% the minute you tow it off the lot.

    Very negotiable - much more so than automobiles.
    Ask for at least 30% off and work your way back.

    Ask a moderator to move this to the proper sub-forum. Forum Technical Support is for technical help with the web site itself.
