R V prices are up

I've noticed that when comparing local dealers with rvwholersalers.com that the discount isn't as big as it was when we bought 3 years ago. Back then I could have saved a few grand even with the delivery charge but not now.

Went to the Atlanta RV Show, yesterday (Friday) opening day.

Agree, pricing seemed up, although I did not agressively look at Trailer and Fiver deals.

Have noticed last 2 years, TT prices going up, up (along with more slides, larger fiver setup), but now see TT with MSRP in mid $40's & up (MSRP, selling in the $30's).

Currently looking to jump from a TT to a Class C.
Here is Atlanta, Class C's, pretty minimal (in stock, options), so I noticed pricing discounts, weak, versus traveling out of the aera. One Atl dealer, has been adverstisng some particular Class C's in the upper $70's, show SPECIAL $1,000 off......humm, now I assume this gives plenty of room to go down & give a real deal, if serious. BTW: same unit, approx 600 miles away, can be had for about $10k lower.

The whole pricing of RV's is very fickle, and you need to do a lot of research and know the market, demand, how long they have had unit, etc.....

I thought the same thing after visiting the Tampa RV show.

We looked at the same model Greyhawk Class C motorhome that we have (2009 31FS) in the 2013 version. The MSRP was almost $12k more than the MSRP of the 2009 we bought.

The show discounts did not seem to be as steep as I've seen in the past. We weren't looking to buy, just interested in what new is out there. It doesn't seem like much has changed over the last few years.

There is Always a gap in what they ask and what they get. There is traditionally loads of mark up and a wide profit margin also known as room to deal.

yea as with everything, prices are gonna rise. just to go grocery shopping is a total shock from week to week.

good advice is wait for year end clearance sales :) anything new hot off the press is top dollar. gotta be a bargain hunter these days.
