If people had to go through the rework and repairs my rv has, they'd be very hesitant to buy anything but local.
I'm not talking about things a handy diy'r or mobile tech can handle, I'm talking about MAJOR, structural and specialized repairs.
It all comes down to how lucky you feel.
What was wrong with your AF Silver Fox?
Ordered with 50A option for second AC. Unit should have had a single common skylight over the bedroom but was incorrectly built like this:

With this configuration, there's no room for the second AC and it is not structured for it.
At first, Northwood pushed back and said I didn't get "Second AC prep" (there's no such thing) but that's what the 50A is for and I even had the wiring and breaker labeled for "Second AC".
It took my local Dealer to set them straight and make them do the right thing.
So NW had to remove the roofing, peel back the plywood and add trusses. Then relocate the vent hole and fill in the extra opening.
The entire membrane was then replaced - kinda. They did the entire job in 1 day and it shows.
They did give me the second ac which vibrated so bad it was unusable but I fixed that.
They also hit something with the back of the TT, destroyed the tongue extension and left numerous scars throughout.
Given the damage and scrambling of contents inside my outdoor compartments, they beat the krap out of my trailer.
Had I not had a strong local dealer to go to bat for me, I would have ended up having my atty get involved.
Now I have some cracking in the siding showing up and rust is literally dripping off the frame and sewer hose storage onto the new covered cement floor it sits on.
