Mfg volume discounts to dealers?

Certainly can't speak for ALL dealers but I do know that all dealers do NOT get the same deal. There are OTHER types of "volume' issues they have to deal with and SOME manufactures will not sell individual units for the same price they sell a group of (say 10 or 20) units which shuts out many small dealers from the best deals. Of course there are the "shipping charges" also and a dealer that is located a couple of thousand miles further from the manufacture would pay higher shipping so their PRICES would have to reflect these increased costs. Then there is the unequal "overhead costs" which would be different for each dealer and THESE also would be reflected in pricing. CARS and trucks have always had MSRP listed from the manufacturer but not so with RVs. Even when they DO POST an MSRP it is OFTEN not the manufacturers price, only the dealers normal price. There are LOTS of trucks in both business that effect prices. Being a "high volume" dealer can certainly allow them to operate more efficiently.
