Looking for a TC

Ok thanks for the replays,

Discounts off MSRP will depend on the camper manufacturer and whether you are dealing with a dealership or factory direct.

You can generally expect fewer discounts when dealing factory direct than if you are dealing with a dealership. For example, negotiating on a Lance from a dealership vs an Outfitter or Hallmark from the Factory.

New vs used is a whole different discussion, in my mind.

Buy used, campers are generally lightly used, and good used ones go for a lot less than new, let the guy that buys new take the hit

It depends on brand and season. Expect 20-30% off MSRP with the best discounts being at the the end of the season and remaining dealer stock. Bundling in TC tie downs, hitches and dealer installed options can also help with pricing. Most of my Torklift parts were basically installed for free for the same price I could purchase the parts and install them myself (I did all the suspension upgrades myself in phases).

What are some negotiating techniques? Is it like buying car where you have to make multiple trips back to the dealer and negotiate offers? That can be hard to do if you live hundreds of miles away.

Buying used might be good too. A one or two year old model that's had minimal use can be purchased for a significant amount less than a new model. And all the bugs that sometimes plague brand new rigs may have been worked out for you.

Lots, especially this time of year. My first camper MSRP was $38,000 and I paid $26,000. My current camper MSRP was $47,000 and I paid $33,000. You'll probably have better chance at savings in the northwest where there are lots of TC's and TC dealers. I bought both of mine in Idaho Falls, Idaho.
