Asking Dealer to drive half way.
We found a 2011 Lance 825 TC, but it is 6 hours away.My question is have any of you every asked a dealer to meet you half way to buy a camper? And what would be a fair per mile charge to pay. Thank ...

The reason I ask is a friend bought a new camper and the dealer drove half way over 5 hours to delivery it. And he didn't even charge for delivery. So it does happen. It was a R Pod.
Been reading here on the forum for over, what 2003? So eleven years and counting.
Seems those folks who get in the biggest rush to get their RV, no matter the type, are those who also seem to have the most problems with it down the road.
Years back there was a poster who did what you asked about. In a rush, arranged to meet the dealer with their new fifth wheel in a parking lot somewhere in between, and switched over/completed the purchase there.
Flash forward to their posting about their new fifth wheel and it was just one problem after another. Lack of quality, and more lack of knowledge on their part. All stuff that had they instead traveled to the dealership, taken time to learn about their new rig, and had a thorough pre-delivery inspection done, would have eliminated most all the problems they had.
Agree with most all the posters here. Take that road trip and drive the six hours.
I drove from South Dakota to Denver to get mine, wish it was only a six hour drive.
