Floorplans are similar across the brands and available within the same manufacturer across several different price points usually.
Once you have setteled on a floor plan look at several brands as well as across several build levels.
If you have decided on a specific model, then start with the dealer search.
Use
www.rvtrader.com
and
www.rvt.com
Both have links on the sites to take you to the dealers website.
use the advanced search function and narrow the fields to exactly the brand, make and model you have decided on.
The trailer is mobile, it has wheels, so dont believe you have to buy it in your town, local dealers are often poor for service and if you are on a trip during a failure, chances are you wont be near them anyway.
Also many dealers will add on thousands in fees even on an inexpensive trailer. Examples would be,,,
Delivery $750 - $1500
Dealer prep $450 - $750
PDI or walkthrough of $350
Processing fee of $399
There are dealers that price their units straight up, no fees.
Its possible the pricing you are being offered is a great deal, but its also possible that you may be getting a lousy deal.
Use the web, search for the exact models that interest you from other dealers, the ones that price their product "out the door" usually say so on their web pages, get some comparasion prices and go from there.
Good luck.
