Out of State Purchasing and Warranty Items

I purchased a TT from my local dealer & 2 minor service visits were less than desirable. When looking at a 5er I couldn't get the local dealer to communicate when the model I wanted came in. I purchased in another state. I saved about $3500 but then discovered my state had changed the tax laws to "protect local dealers". I had to pay tax on the full purchase price instead of only the difference between trade-in value & purchase price. That reduced my purchase savings. I had one warranty issue & also needed to order a part on my dime. I called the local dealer for svc & explained that I had not purchased this RV from them. They said no problem & scheduled about 2 wks out. They said it would be about 3 days. I dropped it off & waited 1 1/2 wks. They hadn't got to it & said they were only doing me a favor. They didn't even order the part I was paying for. I am still money ahead. Your local dealer may have great svc but mine doesn't so local svc is no incentive for me.
