Where to purchase everything in Texas

Hi there, We will be landing in Dallas Texas in end of March 2014 & will be purchasing a tow vehicle Probably 2nd hand 2011 or 2012 Dodge Ram Megacab, Turbo diesel. And a Fifth wheeler ( I know this will depend on which brand) but in general who has had a really good experience & have been fully supported by a dealer in & around Texas, it doesn't have to be in Dallas, I am willing to travel a little. We will also need to fully set up this rig from pots & pans (probably Walmart ey?) to tow hitch & what ever else is needed, if anything? Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks Old-biscuit, PPL look pretty good. We live in the most isolated city in the world. So travelling long distances to do or buy stuff is pretty normal for us. :)

    There are lots of RV dealers in the DFW area as well as several 30 miles north of Dallas in Denton.
    I got a good deal on a new Jayco Designer back in 2008 from Nichols RV in Dallas. Very nice people and good service.
    Also, if you're going to have to fully stock a unit, you might consider hitting a Goodwill of Salvation Army store in the area. It's a good place to buy pots & pans, silverware, dishes, etc. for pennies on the dollar.

    If you can manage to get into Dallas by the end of Feb 2014 you could find a lot of good deals and RV "stuff" at the Dallas RV Super Sale running Feb 20-23 at Dallas Market Hall. Almost all the dealers and RV related support businesses in the surrounding area set up booths and displays for the show.

    Wow! I thought you were going to buy "everything" in Texas - not just all your RVing stuff. I was all ready to be your new best friend. :)

    I highly recommend Genuine RV in Nacogdoches! I drove 2,000 miles to buy my 5th wheel from them. They held the trailer for 2 months with no deposit until I could get there to look at it. They also let me stay on their lot for 3 days until my financing came through. I had never met them before then, great service and honest owner, Tony Weir. Their prices were the best too.
