Just one more thing I'm a thinking that Grand Design is putting the hurt on some dealers and they will not work on it if you did not buy from them. There loss.

Charles, Grand Design does encourage their customers to "buy locally", but I have found that is true throughout the RV Industry.
I would imagine that 99% of all Dealers put their customers first; "You buy from us, we'll take care of you! You didn't buy from us, good luck"!
Here is Grand Design's Buy Locally Statement:
WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO PURCHASE YOUR GRAND DESIGN RV FROM YOUR LOCAL DEALER FOR SEVERAL REASONS:
• SERVICE - Quality and service are the backbones of our organization and we want to make sure that you are 100% satisfied with your purchase. In the rare case that your Grand Design unit may need servicing, we want the process to be as quick and painless as possible. Your local dealer is best able to prioritize your service needs.
• RELATIONSHIP - The RV lifestyle is wonderful and is something we hope you will continue doing for the rest of your life. Creating a great relationship with your local dealer will only increase your long-term satisfaction with our products and the RV lifestyle.
• LOCAL LAWS – Your local dealer is best equipped to advise you of any local laws and give you tips that an out of town dealer may not be aware of. Also, if you live in Canada and you purchase your RV outside of the country, your RV must meet specific regulations before you can cross the border and return home. These requirements may include fees, taxes, inspections, etc. Your local Canadian dealer is best equipped to handle these requirements.
Your overall satisfaction with our products and your RV purchasing experience is our ultimate goal. Buying locally is one of the ways to help us achieve this goal.
