This is from Forest River's Dealer Locator page on their website:
"Dealers in our Industry are not franchised like automotive dealers and therefore not obligated to work on your product when it is not purchased from them."
From Winnebago's website:
Why buy from your local dealer?
"We strongly recommend purchasing from your local dealer to make the most of your Winnebago Industries motorhome and towable experience. Here are a few benefits that local dealers can provide:
Service Priority
Convenience
Knowledgeable Staff
Local Commitment"
Everyone of these three manufacturers advise to buy locally and give service priority as a reason.

You have to weigh this advantage against saving thousands, sometimes tens of thousands of dollars not buying locally. The other issue we experienced was not finding what we wanted locally unless they ordered the unit which automatically comes with the highest price tag since negotiation on something not on the lot becomes very limited.
