What rings the bell to us was when we saw msrp oDoes this mean Keystone make a higher quality trailer?? n passport is a few grand higher than the surveyor even though passport have less features than surveyor. We got a quote on passport to be $22800 and Surveyor to be $22300
Does this mean Keystone make a higher quality trailer??
Simple answer: NO, MSRP has nothing to do with quality.
Neither, Keystone nor Forest River, give their dealers a "manufacturers suggested retail price". The advertised MSRP's you are looking at, are determined by the individual dealers. They are based on dealer cost, dealer installed options, delivery charges, and dealer mark-up.
I was searching last year, I noticed the models I was looking for, had MSRP's that varied by as much as 10,000.00. I couldn't understand why two identical units, would have different MSRP. My short list included two Forest River products and three Keystone products. I wrote to both companies to find out why. Their answers were the same as I listed above.
