    Everything is different between the RV and auto industry actually
    My point was just to clarify that things stay the same over many model years

    Yep, a 2022 Grand Design could have been built in June of 2021 through May of 2022.

    Wait till Oct+ to buy. RV sales are tanking right now. Between inflation, high fuel prices and the constant up charging for new RV's, buyers are starting to put the brakes on buying. I've seen the same units on lots for months now. I actually have had to call backs on the same TT in a 2 week period after I responded to a check email price on an Imagine 22RBE a month ago. RV's are just not flying off the lots like they were in 2020-2021.
    My guess is you'll get a much better deal by waiting till fall. Discounts off MSRP should be much bigger. I certainly wouldn't want to leaves $4-5K on the table by not waiting a few months.
    A local RV lot that sells Montana's has most all of their stock at 30% off MSRP. It's advertised on their website. The slow down has started.
