Before you condemn the dealer to hades, be sure you have followed all the permutations regarding all the options on the rig. For example, on my motorhome, the in motion satellite system showed an option msrp of $1575.00, but to get that option you had to buy the Automatic satellite system for $2750.00, making the net msrp for In Motion satellite $4325. It would be real easy to just take the $1575 and add it to your list and skip the $2750 if you were spec'ing it out on your own.
Also, you need to check the MSRP line by line to be sure each rig is EXACTLY the same. Personally, I have never encountered a dealer that screwed with the actual MSRP from the manufacturer. There is plenty of markup in that price for any dealer. They will, however add a bunch of "stuff" at the dealership you probably want to avoid, like paint protection packages, and they may even add a few things you might want like a bundle of accessories such as hoses, leveling blocks, adapters and the like.
