Thanks for the info, Bedlam. I've bought several new trucks, but never a new RV. When negotiating price, are they open to offers or do they generally just say "this is our lowest price, take it or leave it?" I suppose the best price would always be on a unit that's been sitting on the lot a long time, ie. last year's model.
You're right about "settling for what's available." That's what it feels like when shopping for a used one. Right now I see nothing on the used market that interests me. There's actually only one that I like, but his price is above what a dealer quoted me for new. Why would I ever buy somebody's used RV for more than a new one? Especially given the depreciation schedule. I don't think the market price for used is anywhere near what these sellers think it is. That's why they're not selling. Rather than insult them with what they'd likely consider a "lowball" offer, I'd prefer to just not even contact them at all.
