Prices?

Does anyone know why the prices for the same TH can vary by over 10K? For example I've seen a Hyper Lite for $22K and the same model for $33K. Even if one comes with a few extras I know it won't be $11K worth. And the two I'm talking about actually are equipped the same.
  • Some dealers list the price with all the goodies and others the base model and then add in the goodies to make it appear cheaper in the ads.
  • We've found that somewhere around 30% off MSRP is about where you can get most 5vers. Not sure if that applies to all rigs, but seem consistent across rigs we've seen.
  • It will vary based on shipping cost, features, and dealer markup. Some opt for lower prices to move quantity, others go for a higher price and usually better service, but move fewer units. Most of all just because they ask $33 doesn't mean that's what it sells for.
  • Pretty common as MSRP is just that, a suggested price-point. It can vary widely among dealers as you noted. Going in as informed as possible can save thousands of dollars that could be better utilized paying for fuel to enjoy your new RV.

    Most toyhaulers come pretty well equipped from the factory, an $11K difference is substantial (for a $30K rig) even if the TH didn't come with an Onan onboard genny or fuel station installed. Hope you find and get the deal you're looking for. Have fun shopping!!!
  • Same dealer or different dealers??? If they are different dealers, it is all about the "Markup", and letting people think they are getting a "Good Deal" when they take a lot of money off their inflated markup.
