I agree with posts. We do it a bit differently as we do online searches for prices at dealers across the country. That gives us a good baseline on retail prices. PLACE: Then we focus on cold weather dealers in states ike Iowa or Michigan when it's time to buy. TIME OF YEAR: We try to buy in December, as no one is buying RV's in Michigan at Christmas time. DEALER: We also go to larger dealers where one unit won't make or break their year. LEFT-OVER:
Another tip is to look for your favorite model as a "left-over" model from a previous year. That way you get the full warranty but a big discount. CASH: we make things easy for the dealer and bring the cash with us so there's no financing hassles or delay, even if you have to fiance elsewhere.
We bought a 2014 Rockwood Fifth Wheel listed at $46,000 in December 2015 for a cash price of $28,700. This works out to about a 40.3% discount. Brand new, full warranty. Can't do too much better than that.
