I'd suggest you be upfront with your buying dealer and tell him you will be moving. I'm sure he won't be upset at not having to do any warranty work on your RV. :)
You might try asking him for recommendations on a dealer where you're moving.
It would be more comforting to you if after receiving you new RV you could test it out good on a few trips before traveling across the country to get the kinks out. Then don't worry about it. If you have a need enroute it'll be worked out if they know the circumstances.
A good manufacturer won't leaving you hanging. The dealers will work with you on this issue.
Think of all the full-timers out there that buy and never return to the selling dealer because they travel constantly. We were one of them. We had only one warranty issue that we needed a Newmar dealer and when we contacted one which would be on our way as we were traveling, we were easily supplied with an appt. date within the week. They ordered the part from Newmar and it was waiting for them to install when we arrived. We left the same day. We had a couple very small warranty items and we ordered parts ourselves through Newmar and changed them out ourselves.
If you're buying used then get it thoroughly checked out before purchasing. Then you'll be on your own after purchasing since you wouldn't have a warranty. Mobile RV repairmen are a very good option to use. Most RV parks will have someone they use all the time or can give you names. Relax and enjoy your move!
