Is service on new 5er limited to dealership?

"Transportation costs can eat into a dealers profits so it's reasonable that a West coast dealer won't be able to match prices on a dealer in say.. Indiana.. where the mfg is located. Transpo may only be $100 for an Indiana dealer whereas a dealer in CA may have $2k into it." The automobile industry seems to have gone to a flat transportation fee, so whether you are buying from the dealership down the street from the factory or across the country, the fee is the same. Has the RV industry done the same, or are they still charging for each individual coach? I realize that a dozen or so cars can ride on one truck, whereas all but the smallest trailers are driven individually from the factory to the dealer.
