Buying Local or Long distance

First trailer I bought was out of town and the local dealer would not match the price. I didn't give it a second thought. No problems worked well, took it to a another local dealer to repair hot water heater. Just bought another camper this year and was a little more hesitant after reading all the stories on here. No one close by had the trailer we wanted and one was on a lot 5 hours away. We went ahead and bought it. Since that time the fireplace broke and the dealer is going to have one shipped out. some plastic gutter pieces on the slide broke and the dealer sent me the replacements. As long as the fixes are easy I would rather to it myself and have them send me the pieces, instead of being tied up at the RV shop. Ig buying out of town talk to the dealer and see how they are going to address warranty items.
