Here's something I've seen mentioned a LOT. A lot of people suggest that you can get between 25-30% off the MSRP of any RV. So my guess is that the dealers that are posting crazy high prices expect customers to bargain. It's a complete win for the dealers that do this. Some people will haggle hard, some people will haggle just a little, and some will not haggle at all. So the dealer still makes a bit of money out of those people who haggle hard, but makes a LOT of money out of the other two types.
So what about the dealers asking already rock bottom prices? I think it's because these dealers can't be bothered haggling and besides, those low looking prices will drive a lot of traffic through the door without the sales people having to lift a finger.
You can prove this by going to one of the dealers that ask rock bottom prices and try to get the usual 25-30% off. I'll bet London to a brick, you'll get short shrift from these dealers. Probably you'll get told, "That's our 'no-haggle' price".
I think you are 100% correct. I chose to walk away from the dealer who quoted me an additional $25k; I didn't even want to talk to them anymore.
