In the situation of a dealer 1,000 miles from home I'd want to camp somewhere close to that dealer for a few days to find and resolve any immediate questions and warranty issues before the long ride back. Even in a new trailer that's nearly perfect, something will probably come up.
Think of it as a sea trial.

We are at least spending the night at the dealer. Mostly to rest before the trip back home and to familiarize myself with the major systems. If there is something catastrophically wrong, I would definitely ask them take care of it. Colonial has a very good reputation. But I am buying a used unit and no warranty, so I have realistic expectations. As long as I can tow it I'll be happy. The rest I'll figure out as I go.
