The message I'm getting from several of these replies is some folks don't understand who is in command when shopping and negotiating a purchase. You have the money, you control the situation.
If you have done your homework you have a great advantage over the uneducated, untrained salesperson.
If you find a salesperson pushy or catch them misrepresenting a product or service you have every right to diplomatically correct their actions and not tolerate their behavior.
Why are some salesman pushy and dishonest? Because enough customers allow themselves to be manipulated into a deal. Which only encourages the dishonest salesman to use the same tactics in the future.

Again, my point is telling newbies "don't trust the salesman" offers very little assistance to a new RV buyer.
Isn't it more beneficial to offer advice on how to find a good salesman rather than stereotyping all salesman as shysters?
