Does anyone know anything about an RV VIP purchase program or if there are any benefits/discounts or even the option of purchasing a motorhome from the manufacturer? I've heard that you can reap substantial savings if you go directly to the manufacturer and I can't find any information on the internet about it. Thanks.

I personally don't know of a single RV manufacturer that will sell directly to the customer with the exception of Horizon's 5th wheel RV's.

Happy camping!!! See ya'll down the road!!!

Selling direct to a customer would be in conflict with some Dealer Agreements. Custome Conversions might be an exception like Newells or Prevost, etc.

I don't think it is in the manufactures best interest to undercut it's dealer network for a few "special VIP" sales. There are sales agreements between dealers and companies preventing them.
