When she is really sick, she would not see things the way she does when in remission. You're a reasonable person, I know this. But unless you have a disabling, lifetime of pain and medicine that causes more pain, and the feeling of wishing it would end, you cannot understand. I understand. Hey, have some heart.

All dealers need to get together and ban the dealers with such little margain to advertise them. Big dealers have no idea how much business they are losing.

It only creates a steeper hill for our dealer partners to climb. If manufactures REALLY wanted to help dealers right now, they would continue to produce 2009 model year products until next November.

I think both manufacturers and dealers are responsible for the situation with early intros. I agree also, that mafgs should use the utmost caution when selecting dealers. I brought up my point to express a different side of the story. Counter,

What exactly would it take for RVIA to mandate a change on the competitive clause issue and get this changed NOW? There's got to be a solution! Jonathan summed it up nicely and said it the best.

Likewise, maybe manufacturers shouldn't wholesale mass numbers of units to large chains and destroy a competing local dealer's market. There are always two sides to the story.

Most of those laws require current and one previous model year to be repurchased. Some of the laws further state that the current model year starts when the first current model unit hits a dealers lot in that state. So, in a way, the dealers have boght this on themselves.

A stand must be taken to establish guide lines on this issue so some sort of deterent can be in place. This is the only way the problem will be addressed once and for all. The bottom line is that any early model year introduction makes all of us, and the industry, look unscrupulous. During these trying we need the consumers confidence in us all more than ever.
