The reason it costs more for a factory pick up is that most manufacturers do what most dealers can't or won't do and that is have the resources available to fix anything that is not right with the rig then and there. Knowledgeable and dedicated technicians are on site to quickly diagnose and fix any problem. They have the parts and know how to get it done , dealers rarely do. When I picked up my new rig at Monaco there were 15+ things that needed repair/replacement and all were taken care of in two days. Try finding a dealer who can do that, has the parts and more importantly has the know how. Most dealers sell you the unit and hope they will never see you again once you drive off the lot. My prior RV was an Allegro picked up at the dealer and the PDI was a nightmare. I had to call Mr. Tiffin to get the rig fixed, that took weeks of aggravation to resolve some serious manufacturing issue. The dealer couldn't come up with a pair of pliers.
