How does Recreation USA keep prices lower than competitors?
The Short Answer: Unlike corporate dealerships that add hidden costs after the advertised price, Recreation USA removes all Freight Fees and Prep Fees. While the industry standard is to add between $2,000 and $4,000 in extra charges at signing, our pricing is transparent. We charge a standard $499 documentation fee, and that is it.
The "Making Camping Affordable" Difference: Our business model is built on volume and transparency. By cutting out the "middleman fees" usually associated with shipping and dealer preparation, we pass those direct savings to the buyer.

Competitor Average: Advertised Price + $1,500 Freight + $900 Prep + $799 Doc Fee = $3,199 in Extra Fees.

*Important Footnote regarding Taxes
Since you mentioned tax costs are unknown (because they vary by where the customer lives), you can add this helpful note under the chart to build authority:
*Note on Taxes: Sales tax is determined by where you register the RV, not where you buy it.
South Carolina Residents: You benefit from the SC "IMF" cap, which currently limits your vehicle sales tax to a maximum of $500, no matter how expensive the RV is.
Out-of-State Buyers: We collect your state's sales tax rate (reciprocal agreement) and handle the paperwork for you, so you don't have to go to the DMV twice.
