Camper "MSRP" Yah - I've seen the exact same unit - same options - priced at a 10K or more different "MSRP" at Dealers 100 miles apart... I do not know if you can find a reliable MSRP for a RV like you can a Car or Truck to be honest. MSRP is whatever the dealer slaps on his "Super SALE!" tag...
You just have to look at as many prices as you can find, guesstimate what a "real" MSRP might be and negotiate from there. In my humble opinion the best prices are had after a show when dealers have units on the lot, paying for them to sit there without a crowd of people tromping through them.
Well, it wasn't exactly planned, but that's that way we did it. We wanted enclosed underbelly and a larger fridge and the local dealer had none (and so scoffed at the idea of me asking for one because it was such a waste when he had a perfectly un-enclosed one sitting right there).
We ordered the exact unit/options we wanted new built from the factory - 13K less the my local dealer's "best possible deal on earth" and 25%(ISH) less than my best guesstimate of what the MSRP for the unit was. I just had to drive 100 miles to get it.
Maybe things have changed since I got mine - does not sound like it.
