Depends on where you live. In California the delivery fee is a legitimate expense the dealer must pay to get the trailers out here from Indiana, where most come from. You also pay a delivery fee when you buy are car in most cases, ie, "transportation fee". We're talking about 2,000 miles or so with a hot shot carrier.
Having said that, you'll normally get your lowest price from rvwholesalers.com and/or rvdirect.com. Use that as leverage with your local dealer.
