Yes, the 30% off rule is accurate.  Most people negotiate in all of the extras you mentioned.  Add sewer hose kit to the list.

Hi all.  I'm really close to pulling the trigger on a 176.  However, before I go in to negotiate, I want to have my ducks in a row.  Any advice?

On line I'm seeing Rpods discounted pretty regularly.  The rule of thumb I've seen is to get as close to 30% off MSRP as possible.  Is that legitimate for an Rpod?  Already heard don't pay for PPI and doc fees.  I also get that the dealer is going to make his money somehow, so moving fees and prices around can work to both of our advantages (knock the price down by $1k, then pay $1k for a PPI- no sales tax on that amount, etc.).

Also, what should the dealer throw in?  Full propane, new battery, Rdome, axle riser, etc.?  Anything else I should look out for?

Thanks in advance.
