If you can get a good price on what you want from a local dealer then go for it. But don't be afraid of buying elsewhere, including internet like RvDirect.com, if price is right. Forest River will help you with warranty work, including referring you to independent repair facilities if needed. We saved $8000 over best dealer's price from RvDirect.com. What little warranty work we needed required checking with a couple of dealers until we found one that could get us in quickly. It was actually an air conditioning repair and Dometic arranged the location.
