204,506 as of the end of today and many knowledgeable scientists are saying that if we keep up what we are doing we will see far more deaths in the coming months. Risk analysis always involves assessing risk, trying to mitigate it, then deciding whether it is worth it. Pretending risk doesn't exist does not make the risk go away, but it does cause unnecessary harm, sometimes death, when we refuse to acknowledge it. When one drives a car, an activity far, far riskier than flying, one usually tries to follow the rules of the road to minimize the risk. It isn't a binary issue. It's a matter of degree. And when people take risks for their own personal reasons that can seriously hurt or kill innocent people, we generally make that kind of risk taking a crime. Still there are those who will do it anyway.

But please keep in mind that AZ has the 5th highest rate of infections per capita in the country for SARS-CoV-2, so be sure to wear a mask, wash your hands frequently, be very careful. There may be some super deals there, but not at the cost of getting this awful disease.

Quartzsite is a long ways from WA. We didn't see any 'deals' there on travel trailers we were looking for. BUT there were some great deals on accessories and installations.

If I was looking to buy soon, and I was going to spend a fair amount of money, I'd be tempted to check out the RV show in Quartzsite in January. Lots of 'show specials' on the lots in mid-to-late January.

In southern/warmer climates where the camping season is much longer, or never stops, the market stays more active during the winter and big price reductions may not be as common, but in the colder climates, the market tends to be more seasonal. In warmer climates, the market is driven more by supply as demand tends to be relatively constant, while in the north demand may fluctuate more seasonally, leaving dealers with excess inventory.
As long as one is flexible, there will be plenty to choose from in the new and used markets toward the end of the year. As for normal times, we may never see "normal" times in our lifetimes, so we may as well not wait for them to return.

All of the above is good advice in a normal, typical, RV market...but...the RV market is not 'normal' right now. There might not be any 'clearance sales' or bargains to be had.
Normally the sales person will be highly motivated to move what he has on the lot, but in the present market, lots of arriving units are already presold. You may have to order the one you really want and might have to wait a few months to get it. The tight situation reminds me of buying and selling Harleys back in the 1990's and early 2000's...its a seller's market.
