We were in exact same situation last year. I'm not a firm believer in dealer support. But it depends on how much work you can and are willing to do yourself. We have brand new fifth wheel that I have had to do some fixes on that others would insist on dealer warranty. I would much rather do them in my driveway than drop off and wait for shoddy workmanship. THAT is the reason we purchase cheapest over 1000 miles away and weren't worried about dealer. We saved thousands doing it including the week long vacation to pick it up. But to each their own.
