Price Increase on All Grand Design Units??

If there is any good news in this, consider that trade-in values (per my dealership sales rep) have increased. I will find out tomorrow as we are considering a new 303RLS or similar RV.

Wish me luck...

If trade-in value has increased, then your dealer is trying to hide the price increase and keep your business. I imagine on units they already have purchased, their price didn't go up retroactively so they can get away with this for a short time. Otherwise, trade-in values aren't directly tied to manufacturer pricing.

Update (or two):First, our plans to buy the 303 chabged to buying a 337RLS. More useable storage and better general layout just grabbed my wife's attention. Second, I noticed an upward tren in the MSRP for the 337... it is now showing as ~$5,000 higher than what was displayed on the one we bought, and ~$10,000 higher than last year's MSRP.

Of course, almost nobody pays full price (MSRP) unless they (it is hoped) their trade-in value is inflated accordingly, but the trend continues for as long as the markets will bear.
