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 ...

One recommendation from personal experience, if you are going to be a long distance from a dealer, or manufacturer/seller in my case, plan to spend a few days camping in the area. I strongly recommend this especially if the cost is significant as was my case with a highly customized Host Everest. I live 75mi west of KC, and before I committed to buy, I and DW flew to Spokane, rented a car and drove several hours to Bend to visit factory and discuss in person my specific wants. When we decided to buy, it was a 1600mi trip to Bend. My mistake was to head out right way for Glacier and Yellowstone on our way home. Had I not left so soon, I could have had the factory address several problems, instead of dealing with them when I got home (the price for saving the dealer markup and not having a dealer to go to). Best of luck with your purchase plans.
