Oops I didn’t mean government sets MSRP...

Let me re-word my question correctly:

Displaying / publishing a MSRP is mandated by government isn’t it?

Prove it.
.

What is the “Monroney Act” ?

That "act" only applies to AUTOMOBILES.

It does not apply or include Travel Trailers, 5th wheels, slide in campers, popups or even tents which are a completely different thing from an AUTOMOBILE.

Automobile means a PASSENGER CAR, PASSENGER TRUCK, PASSENGER MOTORCYCLE. In other words something the a person drives and carries PASSENGERS.

See HERE

I suggest you read it carefully as it makes ZERO REFERENCES TO A RV.


"The Federal Automobile Information Disclosure Act

Overview of the Federal Automobile Information Disclosure Act

The Federal Automobile Information Disclosure Act, or “Price Sticker Act,” requires automobile manufacturers to place stickers containing certain information on the windows of all new cars. The Act is commonly known as the “Monroney Act,” in reference to Mike Monroney, the Act’s chief sponsor in the United States Senate. The stickers required by the Act are often called “Monroney stickers.”

The Act requires the manufacturer to affix the sticker on the windshield or side window of any new passenger car or station wagon before the car is delivered to a dealer. The Act prohibits the removal or alteration of the sticker prior to the sale of the car. Therefore, only the buyer of the car may remove the sticker.

Contents of a Monroney Sticker

The sticker must clearly and legibly state:

The make, model, and serial or identification number of the car
The final assembly point of the car
The name, location, and place of business of the dealer to whom the car is to be delivered
The name of the city or town at which the car is to be delivered to the dealer
The method of transportation used in making delivery of the car, if the car is driven or towed from the final assembly point to the place of delivery
The manufacturer’s suggested retail price for the car
The manufacturer’s suggested retail price for optional equipment installed on the car
The amount charged to the dealer for the transportation of the car to the place of delivery
The total amount of the last three items listed above

Penalties

The Federal Automobile Information Disclosure Act provides civil and criminal penalties for violations of the Act. A manufacturer that willfully fails to comply with the Act may be fined up to $ 1,000 for each violation. A person who willfully removes or alters a Monroney sticker from a car prior to its delivery to a buyer may be fined up to $ 1,000 and imprisoned for not more than one year."


I have taken the liberty to highlight CAR in bold to make a point, a trailer is not a PASSENGER CAR, therefore your argument holds no weight and is a null and void argument.

MSRP is a price SET by the MANUFACTURER of said item not the Government.

Government does not REQUIRE MSRP to be shown.

That price can be $.01 or a BILLION Dollars if the manufacturer wants to. Doesn't mean they have to give you any information..

The ONLY exception that I can think of that might fall under that "act" would be in the case of a MOTOR HOME which is a RV that has a MOTOR VEHICLE OR MOTORIZED VEHICLE AND RV and can carry passengers.
