I just checked this out online and it states that you can save UP to 25% off MSRP. I also wanted to find participating dealers in my area and had to fill out a form which at the end says a dealership will be calling me soon. And there were 6 listed so I guess now I'll get phone calls eventhough I was just curious more than anything.
FOLLOW UP;
I just received an email from COSTCO and it had one dealership listed and one dearler who will contact me. I am also attaching the rest of the info sent.
This dealer will call you within 24 hours to set up an appointment, or you may call the dealership yourself at any time. Make sure you speak ONLY with the Authorized Dealer Contact listed above to ensure that you receive Costco RV Buying Program pricing and service.
When you arrive at the dealership, show your Costco membership card to the Authorized Dealer Contact. After you have selected a vehicle, the Authorized Dealer Contact will present to you your customized Member-Only Price Quote. This document shows the exclusive Costco pricing and demonstrates your savings as a Costco member.
If you have a trade-in, the Authorized Dealer Contact will prepare an RV Trade-in Evaluation Worksheet, which clearly explains the dealer's trade-in offer.
If you have questions or concerns at any point during the RV buying process, our Member Advocates are available to assist you. You can reach a Member Advocate by calling 1-800-556-4730 or clicking on the e-mail link below.

Might be that way for the RVs too.
No, I think with RV's it only two, but they have to be exactly the same as packaged!! I hate that shrink wrap!
They're tie wrapped together through the door handles. ;-)
I tried it when shopping for my trailer. I walked away from that experience thinking it was a total joke. UP to 25% off - the price I got was higher than at that same dealer that I had walked into a week before (same exact trailer too). The price was closer to 5% off MSRP IIRC.
In the end I got 33% off MSRP on our trailer with barely any haggling (didn't need to - price was awesome already). The only haggling I did was for a bit more off and some thrown in stuff. Beginning to end the transaction was 30 minutes. I had made a quick phone call when we "stepped outside" to discuss the price and I made a quick call to my "costco salesman" who laughed and said there was no way he'd go down anymore and that we must be lying.
In the end - no matter what you do you need to know the prices and what's a good deal. With this economy, less than 25% off MSRP wouldn't be a good deal.
