We went to 5 dealerships in two weeks in our area, looked over craigslist, looked at their inventory online first and played hard ball. I knew the inventory better than some of the salesmen. There will always be another trailer for a better deal. They need you more than you need them.
I had a much healthier perspective at the 5th dealership than I did the first one. I would really encourage you to go around and see what's out there. I would encourage you to look at used ones even if you're not interested in getting a used trailer, also look at some 5th wheels, motorhomes and the whole spectrum. You'll be a lot more comfortable naming your own price when you know what's out there in your local area. "Oh, you can do $12k. I was just looking at XYZ dealership down the street and liked a model that was $9k..."
I can't give you an exact price of what it should or shouldn't be. What is the salesman's reason for it being higher priced than the 2016 models? Are there any RV shows in your area coming up? I hear that is a great place to bargain.
