PRICING: This is a great set of posts, although I haven't had time to get through all 60+ pages, so I apologize if this is a repeat.
Keep in mind that more than likely you haven't hit the bottom line of the pricing until the dealer allows you to walk away. Beware of Show prices. I had 5 different sales people (different brands) tell me that the prices at the show are better at the show than you can get anyplace because the manufacture sent these RVs up to be sold and the dealer and mfg doesn't want to be stuck. The claim that the MFG also contributed more than they normally would because Hershey is a MFG show. Regular price $259,000. Show price $219,000. Last day Show price $200,000. Price quoted by dealer not at show but MFG gave them Show pricing $199,000. Another dealer $197,200. Last dealer $196,000.
These are all quoted on the exact same Model, Make, color and options. I am not sure what the bottom line is but BEWARE of Show pricing!
