Long distance purchase

As I'm looking I can't find the particular model anywhere in the region. The closest I can find on RVtrader is all the way across the state (and I live in Texas, so yes like 450 miles). I would really prefer to buy close by so when I have a repair issue they will do a good job.

Any advice? Can the local dealer do like car dealers and have one shipped locally without a lot of markup?

Thanks,

    If you think you’ll get better service because you bought there you might want to search this and other forums. 95% of RV’rs found they got crappy service no matter where they bought. And I’m speaking from experience. Better to get the best deal you can. I drove 2,000 miles to save several thousand dollars. A good mobile RV repair guy is worth it.
