Price paid for 264BH
Hi all,
About to pull the trigger on a 264BH. It is a 2014 model, stick and tin.
My local dealer is offering at sticker:
Base $16207
Customer value pack $1714
Convenience package $614
Technology package $564
Power package awning and tongue jack $300
Chill n stor $214
Destination $1808
Total $21421 plus a dealer prep of $589
How much under that should i expect to get? How about the dealer prep which i assume is just pure profit?
I also need to get a sway control and bars, and brake controller. Not sure how much they are yet.
Any tips and input is greatly appreciated.

what, i paid 16500 for my 26bh (which is the better version of the 264) fully loaded with every option but the aluminum rims, i feel like you can do better then that
a decent brake controller starts at about 150 and goes up from there, and about 700 for an entry level sway control weight distribution hitch, but you can have all that added into the price of the trailer now a days

Welcome to the forum. This thread below may be helpful when pricing a new RV. I would shop around before paying MSRP for a trailer. Many dealers offer 20-30% or more off MSRP.

30% off the total retail is pretty standard. Don't pay more. You'll pay $500 or so for the install of the brake & WD hitch. I would highly recommend installing both left and right Sway control arms as well.

RV Prices
I agree with the 20 to 30% markdown when looking at total MSRP on a T/T.
For comparison get a quote from RV Direct. With RV Direct you have to figure in
pickup cost. I would also consider looking at another Dealer if one is close by. In Feb 2010 I picked up a 2009 32BHDS out the door with Tags $35, Taxes $300 included and set up for my Tow Vehicle for $1183 over Dealer Cost. I found out their D/C by a mistake made by one of their staff. So, I know I only gave the Dealer $850.00 over his actual cost. The original MSRP was $31,150.00. As I said I was the the door for $20,485.00 with tax and tags included. Also, a Dealer can really get you if you have a trade in.
Hope this helps.

I paid $13k with the customer value package and convenience package. Tags and plate on top of that. We got a great deal, the dealer had them in stock from a local RV show.

Just a month ago I paid 17,5 out the door with a Pro Series WTD and brake control. The brake control and WDH was about $500 bucks.

Paid just below 16k for a 2013 26bh in Feb, 2013. Loaded with everything and rims. Included brake controller, Equalizer system with install, taxes, tags, dealer prep, etc. They were clearing the lot before tax time and making room for the 2014 models. We have had it out about 20 times with no issues. We love it!

We have 2 kids ages 5 and 7. We got our camper with the option of both full bunks. The couch easily folds into a bed so it is very doable. Depending on your preferences the storage might get tight. You can only fit 4 at the dinning table but a small table in front of the couch works on rainy days if you need more eating area. We camp with friends that have a small boy and have eaten meals with them in our camper when it was pouring down outside. We spend most of our time outside if the weather permits. We have camped with my parents and turning the dinette and couch into beds for them wasn't too much of a hassle. Funny enough, a twin air mattress fits perfectly on both. It is a great camper and we aren't looking to replace it anytime soon. Good luck with your search.

I paid 18k out the door for our 2014 264bh and we love it. We have me many mods to it but some of them we had parts from an old txt that we sold. We just got back from 4 days of camping and it is great. Please look at the mods section and you can see all of the mods I have made on mine. Some are must do's. Some are just overkill but fun. We are in Las Vegas and bought it from Johnie Walker RV. They are great to deal with. Just bought in January.
Happy camping!!

In 2011 we bought a 26BH first, 2 kids at the time (5 and 3). It was great with 2 kids, little tight on storage in the bunk area but manageable.
When we added kid #3 in 2012 it stopped working for us...we tried to make do all last year but it became frustrating. Hated breaking the couch or table down at bedtime. Storage became a real issue and the trailer constantly looked messy and disorganized because there wasn't space for everyone's clothes/shoes and the few toys the brought along.
My experience might not be the same for you, but with 3 kids I would really spending the time to plan your storage needs before pulling the trigger on any floor plan.
Our 29QBH is great for us now, not sure how we managed without slide before, but it certainly is a lot more trailer and really needs a 250/2500 TV.

We purchased a 2014 264bh back in January, one outing so far. 3 kids, 12-10-8. For us it's plenty of space, we got the double-over-double bunk option. Our boys shared the top bunk and our daughter turned the bottom bunk into her own little cave. If you plan on spending a lot of time indoors it will probably get cramped, but even with 2 days of rain we were fine.
One thing I can't get over with this floor plan is just how much storage there actually is. Tons. Really happy so far.
As for price we got the options you mentioned plus 15k a/c, enclosed underbelly, and the double-over-double bunk option. Paid a little under $13k. Helps to shop dealer inventory in the off season.

/\ Like skylark just said, definitely get the double bunk over double bunk option. I have that as well. It is nice to have a big top bunk like the bottom bunk. All you give up is a little storage box that is a waste of space IMHO. I could lay 2 of me side by side on the top or bottom bunk and be comfortable.... My 2 sons sleep in the bunk area. They each have a duffle bag with their clothes and it fits in their bunk area with them with tons of room. They also keep their gaming devices and charges in there.
