Just about everyone you see online including MHSrv and Total Value advertise the MSRP at $115,000 and then say that it's on "sale" for $80,000. that's on the newest current year model. They have conditioned everyone to think that they are so low that there's no sense in even thinking about negotiating lower than that. The RV industry has a good list of salesmen just like autos and insurance. They build junk and then get a big number for it. They know the baby boomers want to buy an RV and "roam" freely and they know they have the military and union pensions to pay for them. The profit margin from mfg to dealer is almost 14% and who knows how much the dealers make. Most of them aren't public so it's hard to know exactly. Probably like most dealers of machinery, they make most of their money from service.
