Gritz- I bought from a dealer 4 miles from my house, I've always had good service, warranty and repair. Carpenters Campers sells several brands and all types of RV's. They advertise that they are an authorized service center for most manufacturers.. They do have a priority system, their customers come second only to repairs on transient customers needing repairs to continue.
Wait times are a huge problem, and getting worse. I've had RV's for 30+ years. Manufacturers are turning out half a million units a year, there just aren't the service bays to handle that demand. It's one thing to have a dealer tell you it will be 2-3 weeks before he can get you in and another to refuse service completely because you bought it elsewhere.
I don't think RV manufacturers have the control over dealers that Auto manufacturers do. I think your intent here is good, prospective buyers should know what to expect for service in their area, and publicity may pressure dealers to adapt.
