YMMV - I did it without really thinking through the implications. I was buying from a consignment lot as they were getting started with RV mfg authorizations to carry new.
For the first 4 years I was mostly dependent on the independent RV tech that did my PDI for the purchase. He's great and was able to get some mfg support when we ran into a unique issue.
Since then he's been harder and harder to book, as he gets a lot of high-end Class A work. So I tried an independent RV repair shop a couple of months ago and had a mostly positive experience.
