This is probably the most fitting comment I've ever seen on the forum.

Just one MORE reason that the RV industry should start changing over to an automotive-type model. Want a new GMC/Chevy truck? Go into any dealer and you get the =same= MSRP truck for truck, and deal from there. Other nice thing is that if you want to deal with your home-town dealer and find a truck half-way across the country, they can do dealer-to-dealer "sales". Customer gets what he wants, locally, and both dealers make some money. Customer ALSO gets to service his truck at ANY dealer, ANY time and NOT get put at the back of the line.
FWIW, my dad recently told me a story about when he bought his first 2-row cotton picker in the early 60's. Bought it from an IH dealer in TX and had it shipped here to AZ. IH dealer here in town, owners were family friends, tried the "you didn't buy it here b.s." when Dad needed some service on it, and Dad simply responded with, "I have the IH corporate phone number in my rolodex at home. I'm happy to spend $20 on a LD call to tell them my situation." He got it serviced for the next 15 years he owned it. :B

There are two Beacons in our park and they stand out looking like something special.
One I believe replaced a Bighorn 3575el like mine, and I have been wanting to talk to the owner about the Beacon. I will try to do that this upcoming week and report back.
Now: I have a friend from BC Canada that has a VanLeigh lesser model and was leaving last spring, to take as he called it, the P-O-S back to the factory to have them fix the many problems. From Arizona the BC, that is a long trip home!

When I was looking at buying my KZ Montego Bay back in 2008, I was seeing the exact SAME trailer with the same exact options with $6,000 - $8,000 different MSRP..
Thankfully I met Christina Remble who was the sales rep at the time.. She was awesome, and was the ONLY reason I purchased that unit ! She cut through all the dealer Bull for me

I think the first mistake is believing the MSRP. My trailer listed for close to $90K but I paid nowhere near that nor would I have, ever. Molding falls off driving down the road, wall cracks appear, so, I don't think price reflects overall quality. Higher prices are in general, for visually better looking trailer.
One of the things that I =really= like about Jayco is their build 'n price web site. No more dealers pulling an MSRP from their nether regions with a Jayco. You spec out what you want, or what the dealer's offering, and you have the MSRP. Everything else is dealer add-on or dealer BS. Yeah, right, shipping is $5,000; KMA. Used to see identical rigs at dealers literally cross-town from each other, with one claiming thousands more in "shipping costs" and not dealing. I sure wish all mfrs would have the "build and price" on their web sites.

Airstream would be the only high dollar RV that is giving you superior quality for the extra money.
Lance and Arctic Fox are noted to having pretty good quality for a bit more on the price tag.
