Just make sure you are all dealing apples to apples. I noticed some of the wholesale units I looked at cut corners on options. They were pretty good about sending me the build sheets so I could make sure everything I wanted was included. The biggest area where I saw them cutting corners was on the hitch. The 5ers I was looking at were all pretty big 38-41' units. The local dealers all had mor-ryde or trailair, the wholesaler's had the standard pin box. That alone made up for a lot of the price difference in my case. Also, since they are so close to Indiana, they don't have much in shipping costs, that was another big portion.

Not saying you shouldn't buy if that's the best deal for you, just make sure you are pricing comparable units and including all costs.
