what is reasonable profit for the dealer

Thank you all for the replies. I am doing my research, and this is part of it. My question stems from the fact that, after I did my research on a particular model, I made an offer, and was pretty much shown the door. No counter offer, no haggle, very much unlike any negotiating I had done for a car or truck.

Since there is no "consumer reports" service available that I am aware of, I just wondered if there was some protocol that I violated in my negotiating. I know the dealer has to make some profit, but it's my money, and I'm kinda attached to it.

Don't worry the dealer is not offended or bothered. If you do not get run out by at least three then you did not really try.

Go back in a few weeks and check again. And plan to walk out again when they give you their best price so that you can think about it. RVs do cost a bit of money.

Try another dealer in the mean time.
