You can also try the dealer locator on most manufacturers web sites. Then check the dealer website to see what they have in stock.
Agree with Langley that RV shows are a good way to see a lot of brands. You can search the net to find shows.
The problem with this, and a pet peeve of mine, is that they will only show dealers within about 200-250 miles. No dealers for that brand, nothing shows up. NOW you have to start playing around with different towns and/or zip codes to find dealers. The mfrs refuse to make it easy to comparison shop, then push "buy local". How can we buy local when we can't find what we want locally? Can we also talk about obsolete dealer lists?

If you know what you want - and are willing to order - you can find lots of dealers (and "deals") across the USA.
The internet *is* your friend.
Plenty of "local" dealers that were close to me in CA, but I bought in Montana.
Everything to do with price - nothing to do with CA sales tax.
Would do it again in a heartbeat.
If you wish to buy something from dealer stock - the mfgr listing might help (if it was regularly updated) but that means you are now in the "negotiating pool" of potential buyers...:(
YMMV
