5 FACTS

Did you know that RV Manufacturers incentivize their dealers, especially at certain times of the year? If you know when quarter-end is for your manufacturer, then you have an advantage. This information is usually fairly easy to find.

Often times it is best to buy right before or right after quarter-end, especially with publicly traded RV manufacturers because of the quarter-end sales targets. Extra incentive money is passed out during this time!

Did you know that buying from your local dealer if and when possible will come in handy when you need service or warranty work? The internet has drastically changed RV buying opportunities forever.

Although it is tempting to overlook your closest dealer, you may want to factor future service needs into the equation before you buy. The reason is simple you will receive preferential treatment when it comes to your service and warranty needs and all RV’s need service.

They are houses on wheels! You may receive a better deal elsewhere, but you should consider the advantages to buying local as this one of many!

Did you know that RV Manufacturers will sometimes assist with the sale of a unit by providing what is called a “push and pull” opportunity for the dealer? The push and pull scenario is when a dealer agrees to sell a unit for less than they would normally sell it for because they need to move aged inventory and the manufacturer needs fresh product on the dealer's lot.

This is usually performed in this way the dealer asks the manufacturer for a specific amount of money to help “make” the sale. The manufacturer agrees, but usually if the dealer agrees to buy a certain amount of new product or provide orders for future delivery. Why is this important?

Because if a unit has been on a dealer’s lot for a year or longer, this will help you get the price lower because the dealer is going to receive money from the manufacturer and will pass it on to you!
