The only reason I would make a purchase closer to home is to save the inconvenience of having to drive 450 miles, otherwise I do all the service, maintenance, and repairs myself. Under warranty our dealer would provide the parts, that way I didn't have to leave it there for some unknown time, and have someone haphazardly install parts on our rig. Did that once at CW, 3 weeks later they called saying it was ready. Battery totally dead and ruined, and shoddy repair work is all I needed to never have someone else do repairs, warranty or otherwise. Hope you get a great deal on your new TT!!!
