Having been on both sides of the table I can see your point and the dealer's but there was no need for them to be rude. If you want 30% off MSRP (whatever that mythical number is) you can't expect top dollar for your trade. You want that then be prepared to pay big hirachis for the new unit. It makes no difference if the new trailer is listed at $80,000 and they offer 30 for your twelve year old cream puff or you grind them to 60 and get offered 10 you are still paying 50 difference. Haggling can be a good thing but we need to be realistic in our expectations.
Maybe, maybe not. Depends on the dealer. The out-the-door price on our recently purchased 2019 5th wheel, was about 29% off "MSRP" AND they gave us about 8% ABOVE low retail for our trade-in. It took some persistence, but we eventually got what we wanted. AND upgraded tires were included in the price.
