Most dealers discussed on this forum do NOT command much respect especially Camping World dealers.
If you do purchase out of local area because of price, many feel that the price difference justifies that buying experience and the possible delay in getting warranty work done locally.
Understand that during the camping season, most dealers are understaffed with techs and will almost always give preference to their buyers. But during fall and winter that may not be the case.
Another thing to consider if not buying locally,, is to tell the dealer that after PDI inspection and delivery, you will be camping at a close-by facility for several days and EVALUATING the camper for defects, and that if any are found you expect INSTANT service for that problem BEFORE returning to your home area. Get it in writing while getting a quote.
Good luck... and remember most problems that you read about are the minority of owners... owners with no problems don't post.

x2 I purchased two campers our of state to save thousands, knowing if I have a problem it will take time.
I advised the point of sale dealer that I was driving 600 miles to deal with them and I'm picky. I'll be camping 3 nights in your hood. If I have any problems, I need them fixed before heading home. They agreed.
No problems on the first camper. The 2nd worked fine on my 3 day local test. Got home and the a/c and water heater had problems, both resolved quickly under warranty by local RV repair shop.
