Thanks guys.
klutchdust, is it easy to bring the RV back to CA and register it in CA ? I have never done that before but I am willing to try if price is a lot lower. thanks
Yes.You will receive a temporary reg. or tag to get it back home. I used AAA. I was required to have a smog inspection, new ones I doubt it.Look for the CA compliant sticker. Anyway I ran into the issue of chassis vs. house year. My coach was titled as an 09 on a 08 chassis. California titled it as an 08. After showing them the federal law that says the "finisher" of an incomplete chassis determines the year, it was all good. Doubtful that a new unit would have any issues pertaining to that.
When they smogged my coach the serial number showed the chassis was an 08. With that information the DMV titled it as such. The house wasn't put on and finished until 09. Goofy.
I have seen a few dealers out there, one I believe is in Texas ,that sells in volume. Now getting warranty service locally may become an issue. I would check around locally and even use that information to bargain with a local dealer. When you are serious, have all information in hand concerning price at other dealers, walk into a local dealer and present your case, go at the end of the month and avoid those extended warranties. The exclusions on many don't make sense to me. Some claim it gives them piece of mind. Having my own 4 grand in the bank to pay for the repairs myself give me piece of mind. 70% of extended warranties sold for vehicles, appliances, what have you are never used, according to consumer reports.
