Buying TT outside of dealer region

Hi all, first time poster. We are new to RV-ing and beginning our search for a small TT. We went to the RV show in Louisville this past January and saw a Freedom Express 192RBS that we liked. So we're looking along those lines. I've been doing a ton of research since then (I'm now in info-overload!!), and I also like some of the Western-states brands (most particularly Nash and Outdoors RV) because of their true 4-season features and heavy duty construction.

How impractical is it to decide on, say, a Nash when we don't have a dealer anywhere hereabouts? Is this an insurmountable problem with warranty work (which hopefully we won't have...), etc.? I wouldn't mind to take a trip out there to pick it up, but what if the unit we select has "issues"? Anyone work through that?

BTW, our TV is a diesel truck that usually pulls our horse trailer.

Thanks for any info, and I hope you all have a blessed Thanksgiving.
  • It's not an insurmountable in my opinion. It might require a bit more legwork for warranty work, but generally I believe most manufacturers will allow mobile RV technicians to perform warranty work with pre-approval.

    I'd recommend calling any manufacturer you plan to buy from and ask them what their warranty will cover in your scenario. I'm guessing most of them will be willing to work with you to find satisfactory warranty service in your AO.
