We purchased our Monty about 80 miles away. I've owned several different trailers, a van conversion, a class C before this. Only one came from a dealer nearby and their service turned out to be pathetic (in spite of what we'd been told). I've come to learn that sales is totally different than service, and very few dealers are good at both. And that's not including what others have said about not staying in one place too long (for whatever reason - my wife used to thing that all full timers were really folks in witness protection programs!). The other aspect is if you buy a unit from a dealer with a great service reputation (not from what THEY claim), are you willing to stay in that location forever?
Find a floorplan and options you really like and then go to several dealers to work the best price. At the same time you could research where the best service is. Most likely they won't be the same place, but that's OK.
