Jim -

I truly don't think your going to be able to use that thinking when it comes to conversions.

There are to many factors in a conversion that do not equate to traditional cookie cutter motorhomes. The biggest being custom floor plan and on down the line.

I definitely don't think any of the middle of the road guys like Renegade, Show Hauler, NRC, Trendsetter, ect... are marking up anywhere close to 500%.

I will say that I do not see any kind of parity when it comes to pricing. Some dealers think they have gold on their lot and another is selling at a extremely low price. Also the used market is very volatile. Some racing teams are moving up or out and seem to dump rigs at extremely low prices to move them quick.

Do alot of research and try to get a average price from multiple dealers. Maybe than you can figure on a % off you could bargain with.
