I bought mine off the lot where they had several models of the MH that I wanted, if you already know what you want then check dealers listings online and when you find the one you want then have dealers give you a price for the one you want.

You should be able to then inspect in great detail the one you want, identify anything that needs fixing and put that in the contract and don't take delivery until your "punch" list items are all to your satisfaction. It is much easier to get things done before delivery than after delivery, in my experience.

I appreciate the info ;) But I think what I'm asking is… Can I buy my RV off the lot at the dealership, or do I have to special order it so that I can inspect it at the manufacturer? Surely there must be SOME people who buy the ones on the lots?

Old rule when I was a Hi Tech Program Manager applies: Regardless of paperwork, meetings, promises, ads, schedules, if you cannot lay hands on supposed HW, more then "Seeing drawings/part on way", you probable are the victim of rumors and it will cost you your budget plus 20-60% and get delivered late, not to specs. OK?
