unlike the auto industry which by law requires the vehicle mfg to post the MSRP on the vehicle, the RV industry is not bound by that law. so, trying to find out what the real MSRP is for a RV is difficult. And unlike the auto industry where you can go to the mfg website and build a vehicle and see the MSRP, I don't know if that is even possible for the RV industry. Some MAY post MSRP, but certainly not all do.
Now I do wish that the RV industry would either comply with or be required to print and post the MSRP on RV's. But don't hold your breath.
Starcraft RV will allow you to do a build out on a trailer model or see the options for a basic floorplan on their trailers and let you see the MSRP of the trailer.
Mind you, This is THEIR pricing of the models...What they are showing as an MSRP for a trailer, and what the "going for" price is at the dealership can be vastly different.
Case in point, the wife and I are looking at the Autumn Ridge 245DS. With all the options shown to simulate the one we looked at at CW, there was about a -$8000 price difference between the MSRP and the "going for" price.
So Shop wisely, and do your homework...and as I have seen here many times...If you don't like the deal your are getting, get up, say thank you, and walk away...They just might change their tune...and price.
