$500 off MSRP in Western NY

[RobWNY]

Yep, that's not a typo. These are crazy times in the RV marketplace. I went to a single dealer driven RV show this past weekend where there were about 150 RV's on display in a casino parking lot. It had about 70% used RV's and 30% new. This dealer has two large stores and one service location. Grand Design, Keystone, Coachman, Forest River and Vanleigh were the offerings in the new inventory. The most amount of money off anything I saw was $12K off a used $400K motor home. In the towable offerings I saw $5K off a $150K MSRP Vanleigh Beacon. In the under $100K offerings, the best I saw was $2,500 off MSRP and in the $30-$50K travel trailer and 5th Wheels, $1000 off MSRP was the norm. All of the travel trailers under $30K were marked with a sale show price of $500 off MSRP. The crazy part was there were a dozen or more units locked up with sold signs on them. In years past at any RV show I've been to, 25%-30% off MSRP was always the displayed sales show pricing and there was still some negotiating room. With the prices I saw this past weekend, it looks like getting 10% off would be a major accomplishment. There were no venders selling other RV related stuff either. Unless people have money trees growing in their back yards, now is not the time to buy a new or used RV. At least not in my neck of the woods! I'm glad I bought my 2021 311BHS in May of 2020 before things went bonkers.
