Nice thing about Northwood MFG is if you don't have a dealer near you they will find an independent RV shop to do your warranty work. I don't have a dealer in my town and actually bought the trailer from a dealer 300 miles away. NW set me up with an independent shop in town for warranty work. I would never decide on a trailer brand based solely on a dealer. What good is a dealer when you're out of warranty? Also not every town has a plethora of dealers. I have 4 and only one carries a brand I would consider if replacing our current trailer. Problem is that, that brand dealer is the only dealer between Seattle and somewhere in central Ca. Consequently they've jacked up the prices beyond reasonable. If I were to buy that brand I would be visiting Jeff Couchs RV nations 2500 miles away and save close to $9,000. So while a good dealer helps, it only helps if they carry exactly the brand you want and offer a good deal at the time of purchase.
