The first thing to do is some research on the particular make and model you are considering. Start with NADA guide for rvs which will give you some ballpark pricing: NADA. The next step is to search RV Trader for the particular model you are looking at, and this will give you nationwide pricing and maybe even local: RV Trader. Once you have an idea of what is a good price for the unit you are considering, then offer the dealer a low ball price, at least 25% below asking, but be prepared to walk out if he says no. This is a slow time of the year for rv sales, and there is a good chance they will call you back within a few days. As said above make sure you test all the appliances/systems/water lines/tanks etc. Finally, the dealer is not your friend, so do not worry about insulting him. Get the best deal for you and your family.
