Keep in mind, you got a super deal, because the selling dealer will never see you for warranty repairs.

Not my experience at all. I bought at 31% off out of state and NEVER had one problem with
Warranty
service at several dealers. And why would you?
They are RV's. You drive them around the country. Are you supposed to drive halfway back across the country so you can get your stove fixed by the selling dealer?
Enjoy your new RV

This has some grain of truth. "Some" dealers have little or a lousy Service Dept. They stay in business by underselling legitimate dealers that HAVE to have good service dept's and THAT cost will be included in the selling price. They will retail a new unit cheaper because they will NOT do or do a very minor quick prep, because they know the customer will pick up and never be back---Then the Local dealer has to put up with the list of complaints. Remember, there is a reason some dealers can offer that low price when other dealers cannot. Also, IF the items that are wrong are NOT a legitimate warranty item, but fall back on the original dealer, because THEY did not do their job, the customer is stuck. There are LOTS of items on a RV that are not warranty items that the selling dealer fixes at his cost and that cost is figured into his selling price or is absorbed to keep HIS customer happy. Doug
