Problems with buying 3-1/2 hours away

I'd go with who ever made the best price, and you felt has the best service. In reality, Unless you really get a lemon. It shouldn't have to go back more than once. I have had 2 new TTs. Both had to go back only once for warranty work, and one of them was recalled.
As for as the local guy doing the service. Yes they will. They will do what they get paid for. No matter where you bought it.

My only caution about buying far away. Make sure the dealer is in the same state. Easier to tag, and title is in the same state you live in.

Agree with almost all TA had to say.

And - 3 1/2 hours away is right in "your backyard"!..;)

Dozens of dealers closer than the one where I purchased my new 5th, which was 1260 miles away!

The Jayco I purchased had a 2 year warranty.
I had no concerns about taking it to a different (closer) dealer *if* necessary.
But - never needed any warranty work of any kind.
Yep - *I* replaced a door glide myself - about 5 minutes and $2.50.

Dealer in the same state? Nope.
No big deal to register in my "home" state.
(No add'l charges & very EZ to do that).

*My* preference:
Find the best deal on what you want -"far and wide".
If a dealer closer to you will meet that deal - or come close enough to get your business - great!
If not - it's just another camping trip after you pick it up.

BTW - even "camped" in the dealer's lot for two nights, to see if everything was OK.
Then stayed in a local campground for a week for "outfitting" and fun.
Would do it all again - including the dealer 1260 miles away......
after comparing prices, that is..:W
