RV Sales Push

I just got off the phone with a RV salesman who informed me that he was low on inventory, trailers were selling as they come in, prices were going up, etc. He said that factories were down for three months and they were way behind. Any truth to any of this, or just salesman push?

I am not desperate for a new trailer and can wait to save a couple of thousand.
  • It is true. And true just about anywhere. If you are selling now is the time to get top dollar. Same holds true for new cars. Just now we are seeing new cars coming in. Our new inventory is very very low, we have over 700 new cars on order and ar waiting for them to start showing up.

    If you are buying and want a good deal you won't find much if any right now!

    Normally I would say sales tactic, but here in PA at least it is true. My in-laws just put a deposit on a trailer and a friend is looking for one. In-laws went to 3 dealers looking. Thought about it for 2 days and the 3 they had listed as favorites were already sold. Dealer had 3 of the same model all sold. They searched around and again very little they wanted. Seems the smaller trailers are going the fastest. Obviously there is inventory, it's just a matter of if it matches what you want.
