shopping for our first "A"

OK, we have been looking at these things for some time and I'm narrowing down the searches. Starting to think about my negotiating, in the past 30+ years I've bought 4 TT, 1 TC, 1 PU and 5'ver. Always fallen back on Offer 70% out the door and depending what else I ask for we've gotten close to that. Where do I start with a Gas driven A ?

    if you are going to try to negotiate a price then start out at 35% off and go from there. they will laugh at you but be firm in your conviction. I once got almost 50% off on one of my TT's

    Try rvdirect.com or mhsrv.com either will give you their out the door price, typically 30
    To 35% off MSRP.

    Craigs List seems to be 25 percent high in general.

    Agree with the above numbers, generally, but if you negotiate long enough you can find out how motivated the seller is. If you are patient enough you can do even better.
