Note that his is a special case. I had an '04 Dodge Roadtrek. While under warranty, there was a recall on the driveshaft universal joint. I took it back to the RV dealer. They wouldn't fix it under warranty because it was a recall on the Dodge running gear.
So I took it to a Dodge dealer. They would do the warranty work, but I would have to pay them to remove and re-install the fresh water tank mounted below the drive shaft because it was an aftermarket add on. So I paid. Then I took a beating trading it in on my current '04 Fleetwood 'C'. It had low miles, but the Fleetwood dealer already had 4 Roadtreks on their used lot that nobody wanted. I got a pretty lousy trade in. Can't say that I blame them. I drive by their back lot from time to time, and my Roadtrek or one that looks exactly like it is still sitting there.
And my Fleetwood 'C' on a Ford frame has been all over the country including Alaska, and still runs like new. Bought a new battery a couple of years ago and need to add new tires and a tune up this year.
I can't imagine that a dealer couldn't sell used Roadtreks, Chevy or Dodge, whatever model. On all the B forums there is a constant parade of folks looking for used because new ones are so expensive. He either likes having them on the lot to upsell folks, or he is asking way more than already crazy used prices Bs are commanding.
