Oh my gosh! You are absolutely right! When I read and hear of consumers calling and/or emailing practically every rv dealer in the country trying to save another $100 on their new rv, it makes me wonder how any of them even stay in business. In fact, rv dealers come and go all the time in the Phoenix area. It's a difficult market.

What's sad, is how many consumers do not compare apples to apples and expect the same price on higher quality items, or ones with more elaborate options.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,There is no free lunch.

I shopped for my TC and saved THOUSANDS, not a hundred bucks. I'm not in the least bit ashamed to save THOUSANDS of dollars. Same goes for my truck, I paid about 20% under sticker for that little investment. All it took was a little effort and a couple of hours of research.

The only thing you prove by blindly paying full retail it that you are a terrible shopper. I worked to hard for my money to squander it needlessly. The average commission salesman is trying to cheat you out of every dollar possible, the smart consumer is working hard to keep as many of her/her dollars as possible.

When the quality or quantity of a product diminishes and the price remains the same it fools no one. The reason you get a 3qt "gallon" of ice cream is because there is a price point where people will decide to do without a product. People are not inclined to buy a $9 dollar gallon of ice cream. If you make a product you have to decide a price point and try and hit that mark. It works for ice cream, cars and truck campers.

I think you are comparing a few apples to oranges.
