Hi Joan..
Yes, that is the main problem with the "Buy from close by" approach...
After having umpteen niggles with one van, which was only bought from 40min/1 hour away, I swore blind that I'd only buy from a dealer even closer to home next time..
So what happened?....we bought from a dealer, 3+ hours away, Highbridge, down in Somerset!?  .
..but in the 4+ years we had it, it never *really missed a beat!..So it was never an issue.
(*we did have the water gauge looked at one Friday, arrived there mid morning, they lent us a car for the day, which we spent at the cost, then we picked the van up at tea time and booked on a site in the area).
Obviously choose a dealer that is reputable...but if they are some distance away, ask yourself if it's an area of the country that you wouldn't mind travelling to and/or spending the odd night in. At least then, if any minor tweaks are required, there's the chance of factoring in the odd night away..?
