Agree rv repair and supply stores are a better way to go than any chain stores.
I haven't lived near any city as big as 100,000 since 1978. It's a different world when you're near smaller centres. & somethings you do have to get by paying freight.
I was pointing out that when given a choice of a Canadian owned chain vs. any American chain, lots of Canadians will shop Canadian so that the American chain gives up carrying the products.
