I contacted every Lance Camper dealer in California, Nevada, Oregon, Washington and Arizona for a quoted out-the-door price for a 2012 Lance 855S camper. The dealer in Tucson was the cheapest by over $5,000 compared to the closest competitive bid. No one could come close to their price. It was worth the 900 mile drive to Tucson to save that kind of dough, even though it was July and 109 degrees.
****EDIT****
Oh, I forgot; add Idaho to that list of states I checked Lance dealers for prices.
You done good......however,
The OP is looking for a *used* RV..:S

Chuck:
"Deals" can be anywhere!
You just have to be at the right place at the right time.
IMO your best bet is where the most re-sale RVs would be located.
That would be big cities with good year-round weather (like So.CA or AZ). Good weather = more RVers.
However - unless you can spend a lot of time looking for the "right one"- you may end up with someone else's "problems".
And - the grass is always greener.........
"Skipro" is correct - *if* you are willing to order a *new* RV - it pays *you* to shop (via internet) as far as you're willing to travel.
(Of course - some believe a local dealer will provide better service for any problems, fixits, etc.)
Good luck with your search!
