When you first talk to a dealer, they seem like such nice people, the kind of people you'd want to invite over for dinner. But some dealers are inept or incapable of repairing things or botch things up, some refuse to do various warranty work, some are downright fraudulent, etc. I'd could go into detail with our experiences but try so hard to forget...
.... I'm wondering is it better to buy from a local dealer with a good reputation even if it means not getting the model you like most?
A bad dealer can turn the best RV out there into a nightmare. I'd travel some distance if needed to get the brand/model I wanted or even if I didn't get the #1 choice on my list. Keep in mind tho. that a local dealer may not be interested in having anything to do with a unit bought elsewhwere.
