All the silly Dodge v Ram v my truck is better than yours schitt aside, I can't tell you what the best price is. But sounds like you have a good handle on that. Stick to what you feel is right. You're paying a premium for "brand new" and also in a geographical area where there aren't as many TCs to choose from, so it may be worth looking elsewhere. Internet is great for that, now that you have major models and major features you want figured out. Then you can compare what the local guy is offering vs taking a trip for a new camper and the savings and cost associated with that.
Equally as important, it appears you have re-considered what you'd be good with for weight on your truck. Have you set up your truck for hauling a big (or any) camper yet?
Don't get schmoozed into paying a premium for that if you pull the trigger on a camper and the dealer "offers" to set up the truck for you.
Good luck in your search. You're contemplating some very nice campers, all of which will make for fun adventures!
