I have thier 2016 retail pricing sheet.I called and was told they discount 15% off of retail.Does that sound right?Other 5th wheel brands are usually discounted 25 to 35%.

New Horizons is one-of-a-kind manufacturer--I expect that if you can afford to consider them, you will need to be able to deal on their terms.
But, yes, higher discounts off "retail pricing" are available from other mfgs, but the problem is--how do you determine what the list price should be/actually is/may be inflated, to get the higher discounts?
Perhaps, NH is more realistic about pricing as their potential buyers should be a smaller group of expectant owners.

RV manufacturers can sell everything they can build, but cannot sell more than they can build. Whereas a retailer of RV's, can sell all they can buy - from different manufacturers. So if you're buying direct - New Horizons or Luxe, expect discount resistance. My suggestion is to try for 25%, accept 20%. If you are buying from a retailer, then push for the 30%
