klutchdust has some good posted info. You can get nailed by impulse buying. You have to shop a lot and compare. You may not find a true MSRP but if you have done your homework you will see diferences in diferent MHs. Prices vary a lot depending on options and quality. For example a built in EMS may increase the cost of a unit quite a bit. If I see a coach I like and have a trade I encourage the salesman to look at my trade in. I still don't discuss amount for trade in or cost of the new unit. I tell them I have 2 or 3 coaches at other dealers I have looked at so for now just looking. I do give the salesman my calling card. If you don't have some print some up. About a week later I call that salesman and make an offer over the phone which includes my trade. When the salesman says they will never accept the offer I respond by saying if you are interested give me a call otherwise I have a couple of other coaches I'm still looking at. The dealer is going to accept your offer or lose you. They don't have you captive.
I like to get personal with the salesman and give them my calling card so they will remember me and the trade I have, if any. Plus that I am going to buy but not sure about which one yet. Of course when I drive in with my trade I let him know I was just driving by on my way to wherever RVing.
I usually get a call back after I make an offer within 24 hours. For me it is usally a yes or no and I'm on to the next dealer. Be prepared for NOs. Lots of dealers and lot of MHs out there.
