Warrenty work is done by the selling dealer. Same for parts. Distance from factory has very little to do with anything. My trailer was built back east 10 years ago, and I can still call them and have parts in less than a week. Thats what I call service. You need to decide what YOU like best about each brand. Remember though, size is only part of the equasion when towing. Weight, TV motor and drive train also play a big part. Your V6 may seem like a lot, but when you start pulling you will quickly realize size really matters. Personally I would be either looking to upgrade TVs or downgrade my dream trailer to more Aliner, teardrop, or tent trailer sizes.
