Most items on all campers are identical! Stoves, refrigerators, lights, water heater. Everything else, you can probably get from a Lowe's, Home Depot, or your dealer.
Ask your dealer, if you purchase the camper, if they can still service it. Find out what they are pretty sure they could handle without having to depend upon the manufacturer's parts. Things like tires, batteries, light fixtures, are pretty much the same. But if you had a roof leak, would they be willing, or could they, do the work, even if you're paying them. If their answer is "NO", then that means, they'd have problems doing odd-ball repairs too. If they "Yes" they can still service it, for example change a water heater, or replace the refrigerator, or fix a leaky shower, or change the sink faucet, then that should give you some confidence YOU can do it too, and get parts.
Does it come with any kind of warranty? And if so, who will cover the warranty? Dealer? If there's a problem 20 minutes after you drive off the lot, will they still fix it? Or are you completely on your own?
Check these things out? If they say they can fix any problems, then YOU can fix it too. If not ... run!
