If something hard to find, maybe 1500 miles, which covers most of the U.S. from my central location. In practice, usually less than 100 miles because I have relationships with dealers who will go find what I tell them I want. Farthest from home I've bought has been 900-1100 miles because that's where I was when I got back into the country and needed to buy the vehicle that would take me home.
For a B motorhome, the market puts me in St Louis (500 miles) or central Texas (not much closer). Most likely, I would go to Sportmobile and have the build me just what I want. That's Austin, about 600 miles.
If you are asking about how far I would travel to get a better price, I wouldn't. I don't price bicker. I tell my dealer what I want, what I expect to pay, and if I am realistic he can find it for me. That's his job, he's better at it than I am.
