sforl, I sure wouldn't suggest to anyone that they shouldn't go after the absolute cheapest price if purchasing a new RV, considering the markup to get to that mysterious MSRP.
For example the unit you are after may have a MSRP of $105,000. This is just an example, I have no idea what they cost. But if the MSRP is listed at $105,000 then most dealers will have it "on special" for about $89,000. They can easily do this because they are only paying about $60,000 for that unit.
Have you considered getting something in writing from RVDIRECT that shows the price that they will give you and using that as a negotiating tool with a local dealer? They may never match that price but if they are interested in selling RVs they should be able to come within a couple thousand of it.
