Purchasing new TT, what can I get them to throw in

As the subject suggests I am getting really close to pulling the trigger on a 2016 Jayco Jayflight 32BHDS with Elite pkg. The dealer seems eager to make a deal since its late in the year but doesn't seem to be able to flex much more on the price. I am upgrading, so I have most everything that I "need" but I am wondering what else I can ask for him to throw in to sweeten the deal a bit. What is everyone else getting? Or any suggestions on the things I might not need but will make my life easier? I am struggling to think of what to ask for.

Thanks

    Just bought that same TT. Got the second AC in the bedroom included and they paid the same for my trade-in as I paid for it.

    Target has a 22in tv made by Element on sale for Black Friday that fits the bunkhouse TV space nicely, FYI.

    What's a "battery bypass"?

    In my 30 years of RVing, I've never heard that term

    WD Hitch and electronic brake control (installed), Brand new TV installed if not so equipped, Discount on new generator (30%), and 1/2 off on extended warranty. Make sure they throw in a battery bypass, wheel covers and perhaps some nice shaded vent covers over your rooftop vents. Just off the top of my head. We bought a new Starcraft in Feb. Also - a couple of packs of toilet paper, linx stackers an some RV septic treatment - in case you want to go hardball ;o)

    It's according to how good the deal is ? If it's not around 30% off list then you should still have room to negotiate price. Around December is the buyers market. Hold off a week and then try again if the price is not right. Don't fall for the extended warranty, or any interior or exterior protection pkgs. They're worthless !!!

    When purchasing my latest rig, I was told that they could not throw in anything due to the huge discount they were offering me so I said I would toss it around. Within a week I got a call from the manager and I asked him to throw in a new draw tight hitch/ with installation and 3 vent covers installed. He said to come get my new rig !! A friend of mine got a second ac included.

    If you don't asked you cant receive!!

    Best of luck to you !! Hope you get a killer deal !
