What you offerat first, what the dealer asks at first, what you pay can be three different things.
NADA low retail is not supposed to be "really clean, low miles, new tires, etc." That would be hig retail. But that's for cars, were NADA book is working from market reports. For RVs NADA is mostly a depreciation based estimate, and can be way off the market, too high in some places, too low in others. It ultimately comes down to what buyers will pay, not what sellers are asking.
You have to understand what the RV is worth to you, be willing to pay that to have it, be happy to get it for less, but not worry about "maybe I could have bought it for less." Unless you are buying it to flip it, rather than use it. That's the dealler's problem, buying and selling to make money, you are buying to use it, and when you are through withit and want to sell, you could be in a quite different market.
I guess the bottom line is to feel like you made a good decision and get what you really wanted.
Thanks
