Sounds like you tried to give the local dealer a chance. It still might be a good idea to talk to the GM/Owner.
not really. after looking at and driving one in Iowa, they could have had their local dealer order one in, if that dealer was eligible to carry the item.

Technically, you're right bumpyroad. Even though my local dealer made NO attempt whatsoever to ever follow up on my visits, offer to find a 70A to see, or even call me if they ever got one in stock.. I am a strong believer in "support your local businesses" and intended to have the local dealer order one for me. However, while up in Iowa looking at the 70A, the salesperson up there (naturally) went for the close after showing me the coach. I made a lowball offer I expected to have refused so I could be on my way and use their (expected) counteroffer for a little leverage when I negotiated in earnest with my local dealer upon my return home. To my surprise, the Iowa dealer accepted my offer on the spot. Well, I am a man of my word.. I made an offer, they accepted.. I signed the deal.. simple as that.
