I didn't buy my trailer from RVW, but I did purchase from another large Ohio dealer. They don't have "wholesale" in their name, but for the savings I am seeing compared to local (Washington State) dealers, they sure seem like wholesale to me. I will end up saving about $7,000-$8,000 on the deal, that is AFTER having it shipped 2500 miles.
The long-distance deal has been outstanding so far. Customer service at the Ohio dealer has been great. There was a conversation about the add-ons (warranty, paint protection, etc.) but no high pressure. They videotaped the walk through and will do a PDI with the hauler. Yes, I paid in full before receiving the unit but I expected that. Of course, they are not going to release it to be shipped to me without it being paid for.
I will receive the trailer in about a week. Sure, I'll be holding my breath a little until then, but all in all, I am comfortable with the choice I made to buy remotely and take a couple of calculated risks... Will let you know if I feel the same in a week or so.
