Reasonable Prep Fees?
I found a small leftover RV for a good deal $9000, but the dealer wants $1053 in prep fees. While the RV is priced well, the prep fees sound pretty high for a $9k trailer. What the heck do they prep...

On the face of it, the $1000 "prep" fees are unreasonable. But hee is the question. Is the trailer cost plus "prep" fees a good deal or not? If it's a good deal, go for it. It it's not a good deal, walk away.
The key is the "out the door" price. It doesn't matter what the prep fees are, it doesn't matter what the new trailer price is, doesn't even matter what the trade in value is (should there ever be a trade in).
The dealer can make the numbers fall on any line he wants, doesn't matter.

I am sure they used the low ball price to bring you into the showroom, but by adding $1053 feels like a slap in the face.
So my question being new to RVs, what is a reasonable prep fee?
