I don't see the argument that any dealer would try to sell their unit first. They're in the business to sell coaches. They make MONEY selling coaches whether it's one they pay a flooring on or not. Consignments are a means of getting coaches on their lots without paying for the flooring costs. I've never owned a dealership so this is just my opinion, but I did stay at a Holiday Express once......Dennis

I thought I read once that car dealers make more on used car sales than on new cars. might also be true for RVs? I mean you can email price a specific car/rv all over the map, but there are limited numbers of used units that might meet your needs, etc. and there is less competition?

As a rule they make more on used Auto's. That is because the Buyer has NO WAY to know how much the dealer has invested in that used vehicle. On NEW, there are hundreds of websites that will show Invoice pricing on new Auto's. Doug
