I am in the market for a new fifth wheel and have just started the search. Is there any dealers in Texas that will get right on the price? In the DFW area the only GD dealer is McClains and so far they are not that interested in selling for a good price. I am not opposed to used but so far all the ones Ive seen thus far are almost as much as a new one would be with some good haggling, i.e. 30% off. Any guidance would be appreciated.Also how much wiggle room is there when negotiating on a second a/c if needed or a new fifth wheel hitch?
All mfrs are on a "buy local" kick, but won't support a true dealer network. Given that, find a floorplan you like, then contact every dealer within 200, 400, 600,etc., miles and see what they will do on price on the same unit. Take those prices to your local dealer and see how badly they =really= want to sell that rig. If they won't get within a few hundred, then tell them they're not serious about doing business and you're taking your business elsewhere...and STICK TO IT.
