Again boat example comes to mind, small entry yachts are about the same price. We normally take $5k deposit on the day they say yes and we draft contract and reserve the delivery date in factory, then 30% of price due when factory confirms the delivery and accepts the config and reminder 30 days before the delivery date. (usually at escrow account until inspection is done and customer takes delivery).
Is it same or similar with RV ?
No it is not similar with the exception of a small percentage of high end RV's that are custom ordered. If you are talking about a $500k diesel pusher, yeah, it's a lot more like buying a new boat.
The vast majority of new RV sales are bought off the RV lot inventory. Factory order sales are the exception rather than the rule.
Generally, you come in find what you like (they might check nearby dealers for stock if there is something special you want), once you find it, you put down a deposit and either that day or within a week, you make full payment and drive away.
OK, one would have thought that similar priced items would have similar process.
