I think you missed my point. When a 2017 TC is sitting on the lot next to a 2016 TC, you will always be able to buy the 2016 at a lower price. The discount on anything increases the longer it has been sitting on the lot. You have very little bargaining power with a brand new unit that was just delivered to the dealer. This holds true for vehicles as well as RVs

I find the best time to buy anything is when the new models come out. Buy last years model or a trade-in. I just bought a new TC that was marked down 30% because it had been on the lot for 9 months. This does limit your choices, but I have a new camper at a very reasonable price.

I have a shotbed Dodge quad cab 4x4. I purchased it new $14,000 off of msrp. I live on a deadend narrow mountain road with a very small turnaround area I would have prefered a 3/4 ton, but for the price there was no choice. I snow camp off road every winter and have a Travel Lite 690. There is a right truck and TC combo for everyone and their own reasons. Mine was price and the lack of space on my property.
