Trying to become a R-poder

Well.... Poulsbo RV (Fife) didn't go so well.  Archaic selling practices at its best..  tried getting my SSN before we had started negotiating, "lets get the credit app going to save some time"  when I refused they wanted a credit card so they could  "make sure you're serious" as though I just thought this would be a great way to spend my day.. I was waiting for the sales manager to offer me a free undercoating. 

The sales manager didn't have a reply when I asked him if he did anything different when buying large items for his family.

I showed them other dealers prices and I heard everything from "that doesn't have the hood river package" worth several thousand dollars, to "Oh that one doesn't have mini blinds"... mini blinds are they kidding me? :)

The hood river package is about $550.. best I can find

Onward and upward I talked to a couple other dealers out of state that are be much more reasonable.. kind of looking forward to a little road trip..

still trying to figure out how to make that Seeside camp-out.

thanks again for all the responses..

Talked with Broadmoor today..  The next 182g they have coming in is a few weeks out but they do seem willing to talk pricing.. 

Yeah, the point of the trailer is to show my kids the country so might as well start with buying the trailer   

I'm going to a dealer tomorrow with my pricing in hand to start the process.. 

Another thought.  Save yourself some travel time.  Fax a copy of your lowest price to each of the sales managers of the dealers.  Don't forget Oregon.  Tell them you are ready to write a check and who is willing to take the least.  Give them 24 hours and list all of the items that you want on your trailer.  That is also the way to purchase a new vehicle, after you get their cost in the internet.  Let us know your progress.  Safe Travels. 

Wow! Couch's RV is really cheap.  RP-182g for 15K..   Thanks for all the input everyone.  A cool community of campers is another reason pushing us to the R-Pod...
