Bob,
The amount and refund ability of the deposit may vary by state with each having their own laws on what is allowable.
Yes, you normally have to come back a few days later. I have seen some coaches sitting on lots that folks have walked through and they needed a very good cleaning. The dealer should also make sure all systems are functional before you take delivery.
Isome states one reason for the delay is the cooling off period where you get 72 hours to change your mind.
My last two purchases were with 500.00 deposit and one week for delivery. I had contingencies in the contract related to terms of financing, condition of the unit upon delivery, date and time of delivery etc... With the contingencies I put in the contract everything had to be right or I walked with my deposit in hand.
I have found through the years that RV buying is more like buying a house than buying a car. Think about it, when buying a car do you submit a formal purchase offer with deposit? You do when you buy a house.
