Dealer Info
We are going to order a new Jayco Eagle 5er and have been given a reasonable quote by Indiana RV Connection. Is there anyone here on the forum that has purchased from them? We are in Oregon and they...

There are lots of dealers that will also. In addition generic items like furnaces, water heater, appliances can be fixed anywhere even at other brand dealers. What do Full Timers do? Often they never see their selling dealer again..I'd go wherever the best deal is. If you buy a decent rig it probably won't need much in the way of repairs anyway. Besides the warranty only lasts a year...then who would fix it?.
The issue about ordering from a place like that is that if something is defective, good luck getting it fixed under warranty unless you drive back to the dealer. Most places will not honor a warranty unless they themselves sell the rig, and if they do, the RV will be last on the list, likely sit for months.
I'd rather use the quote as a starting place for negotiations than buy out of state, have to deal with licensing and registration, and then find some shop that you have to pay out of pocket for repairs.
