Pros and cons of buying from large chain vs single dealer

[bncn92 0]

As we are researching TT We are undecided with purchasing from larger dealership vs smaller family owned .  We live in the Chicagoland area so options there range from Camping World, General RV to Ricks RV. Any advice is appreciated . Thanks

Rick's would be my recomendation unless you're willing to drive a little bit then go to https://www.wholesalervclub.com they are family owned and in business since the late 70's.

Cincinnati, Dayton, Columbus and Indianapolis

The large chains can offer volume prices or lower prices on new units and will have more of a selection on hand for you to see.  They also have seemingly large service and parts departments but don't let that fool you .  It will still take you a month of Sundays to get you unit serviced even with an appointment.

If your handy and can fix things yourself and will not have the need to count on your dealer for repairs I would look for the best deal at a dealer you are comfortable and willing to travel to. We bought from a wholesaler near the rv capitol in Indiana where the build most campers and have never been back to them in the 2 years we have owned it. Good luck on your decision.
