Typical RV sales behavior

Well i even tried to call MHSRV without any luck either (even waited till after 9pm here which would in their case translate just around noon) and no response apart form the receptionist telling me to wait (i have waited for 5 min and then gave up).

But to mitigate the "scam" i have agreed to put down the deposit even without seeing the unit, so they can be sure i will turn up.

What other options i have ? I cant think of any short of flying there and back.

PS: i am not set on New its just the question of layout, and i haven't found many used ones i would like

Putting down a "deposit" is the basis for most of the scams out there. One variation, send them a fake cashier's check, drawn on a foreign bank for the deposit. Contact the seller a few days later with a sob story and ask for the deposit to be refunded. Seller returns deposit, cashier's check bounces next week (because people do not realize out of country checks can take weeks to clear) and good hearted seller is scammed out of that deposit amount. It really doesn't turn a scammer or a lookie-loo into buyer. With the internet at our fingertips dealers have to sort thru literally hundreds of inquiries to make one sale. Very few people buy sight unseen. For dealers, the good leads are ones where they can envision the buyer actually gracing the dealership doors in the very near future.
