Thanks for all the great responses! Although i'm still not sure what to do..lol! After 5 pages of comments, it seems like a 50/50 split on whether to spend a little more and buy local or save some $$$ and buy long distance. For me...it would be saving $2300-$2600 so lots to think about. If it was only saving $1000 I would for sure buy local...if it was saving $3,000 or more I would for sure go pick it up or have delivered. One other thing I should add...my wife is having hip surgery end of April, so we wont even be using this camper until at least early June...so i guess I'm not in that big of a hurry. I'm not sure if TT prices go up/down or stay about the same as we get into summer??
Does that $2300-$2600 include deducting travel expenses? What are your realistic travel expenses including food and fuel.
I see 750 miles as a 2-3 day trip with an RV. Do you have to miss work or are you retired?
Is your local dealer playing hardball? Is it a good dealership, with a good reputation and a good service department. What is the local dealers reputation like after the sale? All dealerships are not alike.
Observe the local dealer's service dept. Are you impressed? Would you like to bring your rig there for service?
If you really dig into the numbers and can qualify the local dealer the decision will be clear.
