what is reasonable profit for the dealer
Is it a percentage of the price or a fixed amount? If I can find out what a dealer has paid for the unit, how much above that is fair?

Thank you all for the replies. I am doing my research, and this is part of it. My question stems from the fact that, after I did my research on a particular model, I made an offer, and was pretty much shown the door. No counter offer, no haggle, very much unlike any negotiating I had done for a car or truck.
Since there is no "consumer reports" service available that I am aware of, I just wondered if there was some protocol that I violated in my negotiating. I know the dealer has to make some profit, but it's my money, and I'm kinda attached to it.
I have found that with buying cars that if the dealer lets me walk out the door and doesn't call the next day wanting to do the deal, the price I offered was not enough for him to make enough money to do the deal. If they can make money they will do the deal. RV dealers will be the same way.
