Start off somewhere around 30% below MSRP. Depends on the market in your area. Don't worry about pissing them off with a low offer. If they get ticked off, time to walk anyways.
You likely will not drive home with it the same day. Take the car, not the truck. In fact, that will give you an out if they try to pressure you into buying now and haul out today (they probably wont do that).
Negotiate the out the door price. Lots of dealerships have doc fees and some even try to charge you part of the prep cost. Figure out the bottom line you're willing to pay, and tell them that's out the door price.. no adders. If they want a doc fee, tell them it's got to be in the bottom line price.
Once you settle, they will have to prep it for delivery. Before you leave, do your own walk through and at least document all the obvious things. Give them that list. They will make an appt for you to come pick up. On the appt day they will do the PDI and walk through, and show you how everything works.
You should get everything fixed before you take delivery, but it is not the end of the world if you don't. Something will break, or something will be overlooked and you will be back. It is the nature of new trailers. Having said that, it is best to have it done before you take delivery. They want it sold and out the door, so you will be the priority. After that, take a number and wait in line.
Take your time on the PDI. Check everything out. You can video the tech while he's explaining everything so you can look back if need be.
Hope it helps... good luck.

At what point do you pay them? The first day or at pickup? Sorry to ask so many petty questions. This just seems so different than buying a car.
YOU leave a deposit and bpay balance after all defects are fixed It is your only leverage.
still want to know what kind of a tow vehicle.
