Keep in mind that this is a USED unit, not a new one. All dealers pay the same price for new units, so the markup is pretty much identical.
When it comes to used units, however, you have no way of knowing what that dealer paid for that unit. He may have gotten a killer deal on it, or, he may have stepped up to the pump and paid a premium for it just to have it in his inventory.
Don't worry about how much a dealer makes on a unit, or how much a salesperson makes. None of your (our) business. Are you concerned about how much your doctor, or plumber, or grocer make?
Just pay what you feel is fair to you, no more and no less. Factor in how many of the exact type of unit you are interested in are available within a reasonable distance of you, and buy accordingly.
Good advice and how I have always shopped for RV's. I know what the price of every one of that same year and model is going for and I pit dealers against one another. A tactic that has served me well. Gotta do your homework. That said, during the COVID demand you could throw all that out the window. High demand for used RV's means they know someone will come along and pay what they want. In other words, RV dealers are not desperate to earn your business. Too much demand and not enough supply.
