Lets say this. Everyone seems to think that all "new" dealers (car/boat/RV/ETC) is ripping customers off. I used to think that also. UNTIL I started working at one. Then I learned that with 15 service employees (this includes the lot porter and detailer). Our shop with 3 service bays must cash in an average of $5000 a day to operate in the black.
You can not even fathom the downtime at a repair facility just waiting for parts "or" for the next RV to be moved in. Not counting the (real close to $20k a month utility bill). Not to mention the MFGR warranty will only pay a flat rate for anything--regardless of "actual" cost.
Yes service depts. at dealers are always a loser. It is always sales that keeps dealers a float.
What you say is very true. And those figures look real to me. Most people who have never managed a large or medium sized business or owned their own substantial business have no clue how much money it takes each day just to open the doors. Much less make a profit.
