You are in the "catbird" seat, since you are not trading a used RV. Don't forget to elicit bids from the on-line sellers, since these prices will give you a guideline for negotiations.
Ah, this is interesting! I was feeling that we would be at a disadvantage by not having a trade-in.
We are doing a great deal of online research regarding prices and have picked a general floor plan we prefer. At least four different companies have that floor plan or similar enough to be a wash. What we are trying to figure out now is the pros/cons of fiberglass vs aluminum and those sorts of things. We usually do one large trip every summer and lots of weekend jaunts locally. We have 4 kids and a large dog, and the RV is used often in the summer time as a "guest house" in addition to our vacationing. We really need quality/durability/something that tolerates being hauled around a lot. :D Researching for peace of mind. haha
