Most every dealer in the desert southwest has a show daily for 3 or 4 months. So the term RV Show does not mean much to me other than a place to look at RVs. My opinion is if they have a price on a unit today, three weeks from now I know what they had in mind for a price for that unit. Sometimes they do throw in a unit that has been tramped through for the show that has cosmetic defects and they are willing to deduct a little more. A lot of dealer liquidation units end up at these RV Sales also.

I have noticed that there is a wild swing in prices from dealer to dealer. They say there is no such thing as MSRP for 5th wheels. Regardless the price represented for a unit with the same options can vary a lot.

I agree a lot of searching for the best price needs to be done with other considerations thrown in for buying local. The more knowledge you have for what is a fair price for the rig you are interested in will help in making a deal you will feel comfortable with.
