First Post - Walked out on slimy dealer
Well, we finally selected a Snow River 245RKS, based on many hours of lurking here (tons of good info, obviously), obsessively scouring the Northwood website, and finally visiting a dealer. That part ...

Good for you OP!!! I'm so happy that I don't have to deal with nonsense like this. I research what I want to buy and know what price I am willing to pay. I contact the internet sales departments (car dealership and RV dealership) and get a price via email. No hardball negotiating, no going back and forth, no wasted hours in a dealership, no sudden surprises.
When I bought my Jayco, we had the price hammered out before I came in to give a deposit (they factory ordered for me). While we were making our deposit, my wife casually mentioned that we were paying a couple hundred dollars more than our best quote from RVDirect.com. We had already agreed upon a price that we were perfectly fine with... well the salesman agreed to knock another couple hundred off the price (still a little higher than RVDirect... but not much!). We were super happy with that. Gave our deposit, made sure that the order sheet was correct and left.
They called us 7 weeks later, the trailer was in. We walked in the door, did PDI and looked over everything. We handed our truck keys to them so they could set up the hitch for us. Walked over to the sales office and spent about 10 minutes getting our paperwork and handing over a check. The transaction was short and too the point... we actually still had to wait about 45 minutes for them to set up the hitch.
I couldn't deal with the long and drawn out "sales process". I would lose my mind.
