That's why the more "questionable" dealers require a deposit. Sure, walk away. They'll keep the $2,500 or whatever you put on deposit to hold the unit. Blustering about hiring a lawyer will not achieve much, either. Once you realize it'll cost much more in legal fees than the deposit, you'll find your only recourse is to rant on rv.net about the crooks that took your cash.
I don't know why anyone ever agrees to put down a deposit. If the dealer wants a deposit, run away. Only when the unit is sitting on the lot and you are sitting in the finance department reviewing the final papers, should your checkbook ever come out. Don't leave your common sense at home when RV shopping! Best, Mike era70x.com
Very few dealers are going to order you a unit the way you want with no money down. Why would they? Having owned a boat dealership, I can tell you that from the dealer side if the customer is not willing to put money down, your odds of having a serious buyer are very slim and not worth dealing with. Just my experience.
