What did you replace it with?
I think there's only 1 RV dealer in Pendleton.

In fact keystone does…at least at the Pendleton, Oregon factory.
I took my 5 month old 2014 bullet back there for repairs. A few weeks later when it was finished I towed it across town and traded it off!!

Unfortunately the dealer we purchased from is small and I'm not sure they have the ability to make the necessary repairs, which incl 2 walls being removed.

So what happens if a dealer can't fix a problem?

Does the customer just start throwing lawyers at it?

K-Z, as I just found out, uses Camping World for their repairs. Wondering if there are any satisfied customers there

Keystone does not.

Grand Design has a factory service center but the backup is several months.

Mine was sent back to the factory by dealer request twice, because neither dealer had the equipment to remove my mega-slide to replace the Schwintek system. ORV had zero qualms about it. Once they picked it up from the dealer, the other other time from my house because that's where it failed. The factory did some some cosmetic repairs and did some upgrades at no charge, so I was very happy with. Once of those trips I had to pick it up myself due to snow-chains requirements (transport company policy not to transport when chains are required) and ORV covered all of my expenses.

That would be one advantage of buying a brand that doesn't use dealerships - The factory immediately handles customers' problems, as a routine matter.

(And yes, there are disadvantages as well.)
