The sale of motor homes is somewhat seasonal and therefore the dealer's desire is to stock units more heavily during the peak sales window. The manufacturers production is more straight-line. As a result, the manufacturer will often incentivize the dealer to purchase stock units earlier in the year by offering a cash incentive or floor-plan assistance programs.
In addition, manufacturers will have sales incentives during certain times of the year on stock units to either spur sales or to move inventory out of dealer hands and open space for current production. While in theory buying an ordered unit should result in the same price as a stock unit, it is not necessarily the way the process works and there can occasionally be a significant savings on the in-stock units.
