We bought our Winnebago MH online. One local Winnebago dealer would not perform warranty work on a coach not purchased from them (actually against the Winnebago agreement they sign) but another about 20 miles away had no problem with it and have fixed several issues. 350 miles is pretty far for warranty work. You might want to ask the service manager of the local place to see if they have a problem doing warranty work on a unit bought elsewhere. I do not think the model designation would make much difference if they sell Jayco. I'd do it by email so you have a record of what they say although if they get hard nosed afterwards, I'm not sure I'd want to leave my RV with them! If there are any mobile RV tech in your area, you might want to check if they are authorized to do warranty service. Some are. Any time you buy a new RV, you are kind of rolling the dice. Most times the little nit-pick stuff is better just fixed by yourself. The headache of making two trips and not having the unit while it's being fixed makes that a little more palatable. Eventually it will be out of warranty and you'll be responsible for repairs anyway. At least you know it will be fixed right. Plenty of help here to guide you!
