OP please check your PM.
The nice thing about buying a new trailer (if there really is a *nice* thing) is that nobody is holding a gun to your head to buy a certain brand or from a certain dealer.
I have a Grand Design trailer on order. I spent a little time calling dealers and talking one on one with them, asking for a price. Prices were all over the place and one never gets the lowest price until they are ready to buy, then the dealing starts when an offer is made.
By talking to dealers and hearing of some 25-30% off MSRP pricing, I felt I was armed with enough info to make a good deal. Even if GD dealers published a discounted selling price, it still doesn't mean that's the lowest price they will sell it to you for.
Bottom line: I personally don't feel I got ripped off from GD. I just had to do my homework to get the best price, which I would do on the purchase of any brand.
