Camping is SUPPOSED to be fun and easy.
Why shouldn’t shopping for a camper be the same?
Sales Price shouldn’t be the only factor you should consider when buying a new RV.
Travel distance, convenience, service after the sale, and trade-in values also impact the overall cost of your new camper.
At Bish’s RV, we pride ourselves in what we call our relentless pursuit of transparency. We want you to have a great experience – both during and after the purchase.
Whether you buy your camper from us or not, we believe you deserve to know if you’re getting a fair price.
And guess what? – there’s an easy way to see the lowest price for that new camper you’re interested in.
Keep reading for quick tips on shopping for a new camper, getting the best price, and feeling confident about your next RV purchase.

WHAT IS MAP Pricing?
Many RV companies have a policy called MAP or “manufacturer’s adjusted pricing” – also known as “minimum advertising price.”
MAP dictates the lowest price a dealer can advertise on a new RV outside of their local area.
This means dealers like Bish’s RV can put any pricing we want in a local paper, but we can’t always do that online— like on our website, RV trader, Facebook, etc.
Yes – you read that correctly.
RV Manufacturers sometimes forbid dealers from advertising the actual lowest price.
We do not like this rule… at all. But it doesn’t matter—the rules still apply, and we can’t advertise the lowest price.
Which RVs Have MAP Policies?
The details of MAP policy vary by manufacturer.
In most cases, entry-level and budget-focused RVs have very low or possibly no MAP at all set.
But as you get into the higher budget points or “premium brands,” you start seeing higher MAP values—often many thousands of dollars over a dealer’s actual discounted sale price.
Say “No” to MSRP
There are even a few manufacturers (like Grand Design RV and Brinkley RV) whose MAP is set to full MSRP (Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price) on every model (or super close to it).
Nobody should be buying for MSRP!
How to See a Camper’s Lowest Price
If you contact an RV dealer directly, you can bypass the red tape and get a price straight from a salesperson. But how do you know they’re being upfront with you and telling you the best deal they can offer?
Bish’s has a way around all this – now you can shop from home and get real prices without ever needing to speak to a salesperson!
Whether you plan to buy from Bish’s or not:
- Hop onto our website
- Locate the RV you’re interested in
- Click the “Get Lowest Price” button.
Our actual lowest price will be delivered to your inbox without ever needing to speak to a staff member.
