The way I've always dealt with trade ins was to get the best price for the new vehicle without mentioning the trade in (say you're giving it to your son/daughter/nephew/neighbor) and when he's done "checking with his manager" and you've walked off the lot a couple of times, ask him how much he'll give you for the old rig on trade.
Well it'll be tough to walk off the lot since this will most likely be done over the internet and via phone conversations. I really don't have a problem not getting much for the MH.
