Things to get included in a sale

Slide awnings and second battery is what we negotiated on. The side awning was already on the RV.

How many times have I heard from people that walked off only to get a great offer within a day or two.

So do not be shy. Offer what you feel is reasonable, leave your phone number and leave. If the offer was reasonable, you will hear from the dealer if he is hungry.

Keep saying no, 'till you have to say yes.
Just bought Open Range. Got price from salesman, didn't like it, did some more dickering and thought it wasn't right. About 15 minutes after getting home, I got an offer that got my credit card out to hold the camper....

As always, everything is negotiable. The worst thing that can happen is they say no. Remember, they want to make the deal, not you...

I have seen people negotiate winter parking in the dealers lot.

We saved a ton on the tires, just a little on the other two things.

I have mentioned this method of negotiating a price to a few people. They all walked away with GY G tires at no extra cost.

Not all trailers come with Max vents 2nd a/c, better exhaust fans slide toppers if you think you need them a front skirt,a starter kit (even though they are cheap) it does'nt hurt to ask hell even a week later after I signed the papers I noticed they were offering a $500 dollars signing bonus for there weekend special for there parts department and gave they it to me but don't get me wrong nothing is free as mentioned its what your happy with that counts.

While I agree that nothing is free, there is also always time to add a little something to "sweeten the deal" all the way up till you are ready to sign paperwork. I threw my sales guy a slight curve after we had the "out the door" final price quoted. I told him that the price was pretty good, but wasn't quite good enough. I told him that since we where brand new and had zero RV'n gear, the 50 dollar gift card they offered wouldn't get us nearly enough, so I told them to get me parts / accessories store credit of 1k for all that "fluff" -- chairs, awning mat, leveling blocks. He told me no one had ever asked for that before and he had to get approval from his boss. 5 minutes later where where signing the deal.
Yes, I could have gotten that 1k worth of stuff cheaper at CW, but we compared most of the prices and the small difference was well worth driving out the dealer ready to camp.

Good Luck

Good advice but generally an RV dealer is going to charge far higher for decent tires that can be found at a local tire shop. I bought my trailer with the China Bombs. I then went to local shop, bought a set of Ribs and sold the China Bombs on Craigslist for $300 for the set.

As said, negotiate an out the door price which includes price or trailer, dealer documentation fees, prep fees, any other fees the dealer may add. So the only other items would be tax and license fees.

My dealer wanted $650 documentation processing fee. Part of that covers the dealer having to handle registration and licensing with the DMV as it's required by AZ DMV, I can't register it myself. They then had a $350 prep fee. I decided $29,000 was a fair price to pay for the trailer and thats what I negotiated OTD. The paper work showed price of trailer at $28,000 with $1000 in fees for a total of $29,000 which is what I offered.
