From what I have seen on the various RV forums, you should still be able to get 25-28% off list price. This is typically only when you do not have a trade-in and is, without a doubt, the best way to buy a new unit.
Trading in a unit will really cloud the actual price for the new RV and I suggest you sell your current Class C outright and deal with a purchase without the trade-in factor. I've read many situations where folks have suggested that a trade-in essentially figures out to be almost the same out of pocket price as you could have bought the new RV for without a trade-in. In outer words, you are almost giving the dealer the trade-in unit and paying about the same price as you could have bought the new RV for outright!!
On the last two new motorhomes we bought we received a 26% discount on our 2005 Allegro Bus and 28% on our 2012 Winnebago ERA.
