Maybe in the 1980's this "trick" had some purpose, but today you are just kidding yourself.
Thorough research will let you easily determine the best price out there for any vehicle you want to buy. Figure out exactly what you are willing to pay, then make it clear to the dealer of your choice that this is your bottom line and you are not there to dicker. Yes or No please.
As long as your numbers are reasonable (the dealership does have to make a profit!), it is unlikely that you will have to walk away without a deal.

I just bought a 2013 Jeep Wrangler, I know it is not a RV. Went to three Jeep dealers in my area, I just asked them each what is the final drive out of the lot number. Anything else they could call it what they wanted and charge what they wanted. I just wanted their best number. Boy there was a big difference in out the lot number.
I'll tell you my favorite trick is go back and forth for several hours until you get the best price you think you're going to get. Then once you get there tell them you'll have to think about it overnight and come back the next day. (They hate that and will do everything to keep you in the showroom) Then once you leave you head to the next town to another dealer and lie to them about the price from dealer number 1. For example lets say you got them down to $20k. You go to the next dealer and tell them dealer number 1 is going to sell you the Jeep for $18k and if they can beet the price you'll buy it from them. If they can't do any better, then you know you got the first guy down to their best price. But I can tell you two out of the last three times I did this, the second dealer matched the price I had made up. An no I don't feel guilty at all about lying to a salesman.
