MSRP Question
Hi All, I am looking at buying a new camper. I have decided on which brand and layout. Two nearby dealers have what appears to be exactly the same thing. But, the MSRP provided by each is different...

The games don't end with the MSRP either. Nothing is etched in stone with an RV purchase. Dealers are free to be as creative as they wish with finding ways to increase their profits.

Get the full pricing package from the dealers you are considering when you are entering the dealership. Fees and add on's can be a killer. Some examples from a dealer in Ashland that I visited,,,
PDI or walkthrough,,, $450
Documentation,,,, $399
Dealer prep,,,,,,, $1500
Shipping,,,,,, $1500
And their advertised sale price was only good if you financed through them.
That dealer had advertised a great price on the Trailer, but by the time they were done, the deal became horrible.
There are some dealers that are up front on their pricing, use the web, search for the make and model you want, then visit dealers sites, the ones that are "no fee" dealers will usually make that prominent in their ads. I know the one I used in Ringgold Va. (Danville) did and also happened to have a better price even without considering the fees than the corporate chain locations I had visited.
Happy hunting.
