SoundGuy...true that. What I meant to say, but abbreviated for the sake of the forum, is that there's usually enough mark- up in the unit that you can ask for some add-ons. Again, the worst they can do is say no, or possibly lower the price a bit. To cite an example, we got them to take out the plastic toilet and install a Dometic 310 in our last unit. Based upon the mark up on the trailer, it's fair to say they did not "give" us the toilet, but if I hadn't asked, I would have had to purchase and install it on my own dime. Soo It never hurts to ask...but thanks for the lesson in economics. I think that our dealer will stay in business.
Exactly and when we purchased our current trailer as part of the "deal closing" was to have them include a 1.2/12K Equal-i-zer WDH and a topper for our dinette sized slide both installed for $500 total and that was back in 2007. At that time that $500 was a little less than 1/2 of the MSRP for the two items so while not "free" there was a decent discount and IMO close to cost with labor thrown in free.
