I've purchased a couple of trailers from non-local dealers and have had no problem getting service. All in all the trailers really didn't have any major problems.
The one that I purchased in Oregon, the city water fill check valve blew out when I tested it in my driveway. I took it to a local dealer and they fixed the problem quickly. Now I always turn off my pump when I'm going to be away from the trailer. Helps too if there's a leak somewhere and you're not around. You won't empty the tank into the trailer that way.
The other trailer I bought in another province at a Boxing Week Blowout sale, had a couple issues with the brakes and slide. They were just poor electrical connections. I am an electrician and I was able to fix those myself.
I feel if you are at all handy fixing things it's easier to fix the problem yourself if you can. It takes less time to diagnose the problem and fix it than take it to a dealer.
