Just to throw my $0.02 in....
Checked with a dealer 65-70 miles from me. Got a decent price. Had several conversations with a "wholesaler" 6+ hours away but could only get a price within a couple hundred of the "local" dealer. Long story short - I went with the local dealer. My first trip with the camper, I was in the campground and promptly hit a 4x4 post and tore up the rear section of my brand new power awning.
The relationship I have with my local dealer is fantastic. They went out of their way to replace the awning and stored my camper at their facility so I didn't have to drag the trailer and spend the extra $$$ in gas money to bring it back.
Any offer from a "wholesaler" would have to be well worth my while to drive the extra miles and spend the extra money in gas to make such a purchase.
But, we all have our preferences of what we would do and what we're willing to spend. OP, Good luck on whatever you decide to do.
