It's like hotels offering a percentage off the "rack rate" which is a price guests rarely pay.
I see it like the "out the door" price of a RV/auto/etc. doesn't matter what the discount % is, trade in is, or misc. items. It is what it costs me to stay there. If it is $17.50 I don't care if it is half of 35 or 1/4 of ??, or 10% off. if all the other campgrounds in the area are $35 and up.
