Wander around the entire dealership and look the place over. Do they have a lot of coaches just sitting and waiting for service? Does the service area look like it is run by professionals or are the mechanics there people that are not qualified to work in a decent shop?
Buying from a local dealer is only worthwhile IF you intend to use them for service or warranty work. In most cases, service can be found with a higher quality and quicker service at a truck facility that will also work on RV's.
Naturally with warranty work you are stuck with an authorized service facility that can do warranty work BUT if it is an engine/chassis issue, you still can take it to a truck shop and avoid the dealership.
Don't be afraid to buy from another dealer, even if it is hundreds of miles away.
