Don -
Don't lose track of the fact that there are two kinds of service, because there are two groups of components that make up a Trail Manor.
The first group is the stuff that is actually manufactured by TM. That would include the torsion bars, some interior body parts, and the body panels (roof, walls, and floor). If you ever need service on these components, it should probably be done by a TM dealer. On the other hand, these are rugged, and hardly ever need service.
The second group is almost everything else. All of the appliances, including the furnace, refrig, stove, oven, water pump, antenna, CO detector, converter - you name it - plus the axle and suspension, the battery, the tires, and even the windows are made by third-party suppliers and carry their own warranty. These things can be serviced by any competent RV repair place. No need to go back to the dealer.
Think of your car. If you need new tires or an oil change, you could go to the dealer, but you probably don't. And if the dealer is 400 miles away, I certainly wouldn't.
