Try Northwood or Outdoor RV units. We bought our Northwood from Thunder RV in La Grande, Or. Best transaction I've had in years. Great people to work with. Northwood and Outdoor RV trailers are built in Oregon right near there. That and the fact that they're solid well built units and that I don't have to pay shipping costs on them made it an easy decision. Plus if I have some major problems then getting factory repairs done is easier. I've had great customer service over the phone for a couple warranty fixes. My be tougher calling to Elkhart to get that easy help, but also it could easily depend on the manufacturer.
JMHO but I have heard very few good things about CW. Their prices are high. Must be because the word 'camping' is in their name and people think it's the place to go to.
ForestRiver also builds some good units and are located in Dallas Or.
With that being said if I were to look else where I would go thru one of the wholesalers online and go pick it up my self. I could save $8-10,000 over buying an Elkhart made unit locally. It's $3000.00 for shipping alone to get out to the west coast and on top of that they inflate the prices out here figuring no one will travel back east to get one.
