You can't make an assumption that because times are tough, the discounts will be as large. Depending upon a dealer's specific situation he might not be as free with a discount since he's selling fewer vehicles. Unless Airstream has made some deals, he's still buying at the same price, and carrying his dealership overhead. A lot of time a dealer's sales volume will make the difference in discounting. If you are turning over a lot of vehicles you might let them go for less margin.

Don't consider an RV dealer to be anything like the auto dealerships. Yep, they are givin away cars today with tremendous discounts. A lot of that is coming from the manufacturer and their government bailouts. I don't see that occurring on the RV side.
