Funny how everyone thinks the Big Bad RV Dealer is out to get you every time... Sure, there are the Snakes out there... But, if you fall for it, then, well.....
In the end, you either take the deal on the rig or not.. You either inspect the rig yourself or pay someone to inspect it for you..
I have dealt with a big time dealer and a family owned dealer in the 2 travel trailers I bought brand new each time in the last 18 years..
Both transactions were perfectly acceptable for me and I got the trailer I wanted at that time for the price I was willing to pay..
I saw the MSRP price on both rigs and I got them for far less than that. In the end, I have no idea what the dealer profited on the deal, but that's up to them to keep the doors open.. I made them an offer, they accepted, done deal... If they didn't accept, and I didn't want to deal anymore, I have every right to walk out and try some place else..
It's called doing business and being able to pay your employees and manage to keep the lights on..
I know I make more money for my company than they pay me... I guess that's why them employ me...
Anyway, in the end, you have total control in what you buy and what you don't buy.. Don't like the price, go elsewhere.
No matter who you ask, you will always find someone who got a better deal than you did... but, you will also find that you got a better deal than someone else... Be happy with that and enjoy..
Good luck!
