Agree, $300 for "maintenance" on anything without an engine is extraordinary. Maybe some years of roof needs sealed or needs re caulked or bearings packed.
Be wary of it. Buy a RV there if you find what you want at the price you want. If you can make use of their "perks" great, but IMO it would be a small part of the buying decision.
Exactly and the "Warranry Forever" is not exclusive to the dealer the OP mentions. Lots of dealers use it as a marketing and service gimmick. Personally when I see it advertised by a dealer thats a dealer where I won't set foot in the door. It borders on deceit, and if a dealer uses that as a tool, they'll use other sleazeball tactics without a 2nd thought.
So you drop off the rig and they do the $300 inspection. You can bet they're going to find some sealant touch ups needed for another $100 or so, and a bearing repack for another few hundred, maybe a this or that needing fixing for a little more. They have you by the cahonies at that point. No shortage of stupid people out there, especially first time buyers, which is what their gamble is based on.
