THE PROBLEM
The price on the sign isn’t the price.
It’s where the paperwork starts. Freight, prep, a doc fee and a few lines nobody explains get added at the desk, after you’ve already fallen for the camper.
You shouldn’t have to guess which lines are real. This guide shows you how the number gets built, so you can check every line of it.
FROM SECTION 9 OF THE GUIDE
$8,639
How far apart two buyers of the same camper end up in the guide’s worked example. Same price on the sign. Most of the gap is six lines of fees.

WHATS INSIDE
Forty-five pages. Nothing held back.
Thirteen sections that follow the money from the sticker to the check you write.

MSRP, the number that means the least
Why the sticker is the worst place to start, and how 35% off can cost more than 26% off.
02
What the dealer really pays
Invoice, freight, floorplan interest, and what a fair profit looks like.
03
Finding the real price
A 30-minute homework routine, and an email that gets dealers competing for you.
04
The advertised price trap
Six fine-print tricks, and what “$247 a month” really adds up to.

The fee lineup
Freight, prep, doc and a dozen cousins, sorted green, yellow and red, with the words to say to each.

The government’s share
Tax, title and tags. The lines you can’t negotiate but can check.

One camper, two sets of paperwork, read line by line.

QUESTIONS
Fair things to ask first.
Is this the same as the free Buyer’s Guide?
No. The free guide covers what to ask and what to inspect. This one covers the money: how the price gets built, and every line between the sticker and your check.
Does it work in my state?
Yes. The pricing and fee sections apply on any lot in the country. The sales tax walk-through uses Tennessee as its example and shows you how to check your own state’s numbers.
I’m buying used. Is it still for me?
Yes. The worked example is a new travel trailer, and there’s a section on doing the price homework for a used one. The fees and the paperwork look the same either way.
Does it cover the finance office?
No. Loans, warranties and add-ons are the next chapter. This one stops at the out-the-door price.
How do I get it?
Right after you pay, the download link shows on your screen and lands in your email. The link works for 30 days, so save the file. If it goes missing, message me on Facebook.
How does the subscriber half-off work?
Subscribe on the Camping with Squatch™ Facebook page for $2.99 a month. Your code is in a subscriber-only post. Enter it at checkout.
Can I get a refund?
Because the guide downloads right away, all sales are final. If the file won’t open, message me on Facebook and I’ll make it right.
Can I share my copy?
It’s for the person who bought it. Please don’t post it or pass it around. If a friend is shopping, send them here.
WHO'S BEHIND IT
I'm Squatch, and I'm on your side of the desk.
Most of my life in sales, more than 30 years. I’m a buyer’s advocate who has worked both sides of the desk. I’m independent. No dealer, manufacturer or lender pays me, so the only person this guide has to please is you.
