For what it's worth.... I sense you're leaning towards the FR for two reasons. The dealer is close by and they offer opportunities to get together with other RVers. Coaches (the house part) are warranted by the manufacturer. All other parts are warranted by each manufacturer of that part. Could be Dometic, Cummins, Norcold, etc. and these can be serviced by any authorized dealer. I also sense that you really want the Nexus, in my opinion, a much better coach.
You sense well.
I've spent a lot of time on the FR forum, as well as here and other places. I think the FR's are really nice. Look nice. Have nice features, but it seems like quality control is lacking at times. I know all coaches have issues though, so it's hard to get a good sense if the leaking issues I've heard, for instance, are worse on the FR's.
I've also seen my share of headaches from owners of FR's getting good service when that occurs, so I guess you just have to deal with the growing pains of a new coach and hope yours aren't too serious.
