I haven't seen RV shows to have great deals, but many dealers offer decent prices toward the end of the show.
Personally I would not want to buy a RV that had been in a show. People walking through break things, steal things, etc.
I've seen a couple great deals on dealer lots after a show, and they all required a lot of fixing minor things. The RV dealer cannot be counted upon to fix those after the purchase agreement is signed.
We see a post about once a month on this forum from someone who had a list of things the dealer was supposed to fix before the PDI, and were not fixed.
The last RV I bought had three things I wanted fixed / done. So I wrote an amendment to the purchase contract listing those things and that the dealer would pay for me to get them fixed at another shop if they were not done by the PDI.
Of course the dealer would not accept that. So we amended the contract so that I could walk away with my deposit back and $250 from the dealer if they were not fixed by the PDI. They were fixed.
You are the buyer. You have all the power until you sign the contract. Make sure any promise is written into the contract.
Believe me, you will not miss any great deal by standing up to salesmen.
