There’s a few Holiday Rambler class A’s that I really like. Problem is I am from New England and I believe the closest dealer is in NJ. Maybe even further. I have no problem traveling to buy what I want. My concern is warranted work and other issues.Would you buy a RV without local dealer support?Edit: Those from the New England area am I wrong? Is there a Holiday Rambler dealer in our region?

Yes. Did it. Bought an orphan. Builder went bust 4 months after my unit was built. That was 11 years ago. Done almost all repairs & mods myself RVs are mostly simple things & most problems turn out to be quite easy to deal with.

I don't understand your concern. What would you do if you are on the road and you need warranty assistance? If I can't repair my vehicles myself, (which I can) I would be looking for "network" support throughout my travel range rather than local support. But, I am regularly 1,000's of miles from home base.Chum lee

Bring it down to Major's on the Cape. They work on HRs all the time.

An RV is an RV is an RV. They are pretty much the same under the skin. As long as you get warranty work approval from the manufacturer, anyone can do the repairs.

I bought new in Ohio while I was living in Florida. Never had a problem getting it worked on. Hard to not take a 31% off MSRP. After warranty you need to find a competent repair house, which is a bit of a carp shoot.
