How much does a new travel trailer depreciate after one year. We are going to make an offer on one and want to be fair to the seller. He said he paid $22.000 I do not know if that is with tax. for it ...

Never, EVER consider an RV dealership's "feelings". Hell, don't even consider a private seller's feelings.
If you can get it for $4000 cheaper over there, the RV dealer isn't going to be hurt that you asked for a deal. Either they'll make a little bit of money off you, or none at all, and it all boils down to how much both sides are willing to move.
Is the pain in the ass of driving a few miles instead of buying local worth $4000? $3000? $1500?
Also, sometimes the best price isn't the important factor. I like to consider after-sales support a very important part of the deal. I was recently burned by a used car dealership (Seriously?! You believe that?! NO WAY! Right?) but the deal on the vehicle was my deciding factor there because we needed something quick and in a certain price range. In my experience, the local guy is usually a better bet than a guy across the province (or state in your case) or country.
