I agree you could possibly save substantially buying across the country, but may also have to take it back across the country for warranty needs or drive by to see it sit for months waiting it's turn.

The Ford chassis, or whatever make it may be, can be taken to their respective dealers for warranty, but the rv portion must taken to your dealer or one that may agree to do it.

On the other hand, unlike the auto industry, many or most Independent repair shops are authorized to do warranty work on RVs. Typically they will do better work, have more knowledgeable and experienced techs and are more convenient than he selling dealer. Dealers are more interested in selling and their heart’s just not in repairs. Independent shops on the other hand have to do a good job to stay in business. Find one nearby and establish a relationship with them and you’ll be miles ahead of most folks.
