Buying at the Tampa Supershow vs Matt’s RV

[LTE_75]

We’ve been told the prices at the show are below what any dealer can offer due to it being a manufacturer show.

Matt claims he can get you the cheapest price anytime.

Any insight on this is appreciated

Show models can have significant issues. Hordes of people traipsing through over a 4-day period can result in damage and plenty of missing pieces. People mess with things.

I have no idea about Matt’s RV. But talk and claims are easy to make. Anybody can make those claims. Why should some dealer in Clinton, OK be able to source RVs for less money than anyone else? Magic?

My experience is that Tampa show prices allow you to get an idea what a particular model can be bought for with good negotiation skills on the part of the buyer, but it's already priced there so you can get it for that price without the stress of negotiation.

Models that are in low supply generally don't have great discounts even at the Tampa show. Models that are in good supply will be able to be purchased for a few percent over dealer cost.

The possible discount off MSRP on new units in oversupply is large right now. For example the Olathe Kansas RV Center Dealership is advertising new in stock Class As from Winnebago and Coachman for 30% off from MSRP right now.
