A tale of two trailers, or prices are thru the roof.

In 2018 I requested pricing for a Rockwood Travel Trailer from RVW and stumbled upon the email / quote they sent back yesterday.

Out of curiosity, I requested pricing last evening on the same exact model, with the same options, and received it earlier today.

2018 for a 2019 = $23,980.00
2021 for a 2022 = $41,700.00

How about an increase of %42 for what amounts to the same exact thing? That is unless you take into consideration that it has to be ordered, the build date will not be "confirmed", but the "estimate" is 12 to 16 weeks. Then add in their are claims that anything being built in Indiana right now, and for the foreseeable future, is exceptionally shitty. It's supposedly way worse in the build quality dept than prior to the pandemic, which seems hard to do. And that's coming from dealers.

    They know they can get closer to the laughable MSRP, therefore have little to know incentive to drop prices.

    In 2018 it was not uncommon to get 30% or maybe a tad more off. Today, not so much.
