I repaired my own in our fuzion. With help of a friend, removed bed, removed million staples, layed a sheet of 3/8 sanded plywood and screwed together. Restapled materiel and reinfoced front edge with 1.5" aluminum l channel. $35
That was basically the repair that I had planned to do on my own if they refused to do anything with it, but since I had a few small items that needed warranty work, I figured it was worth a try. Normally I avoid the dealer at just about any cost and just take care of things myself.
Of course there is no such thing as a "free lunch". When I went to pick it up yesterday, the battery was totally dead. I had disconnected the battery when I dropped it off but the tech must have reconnected it when they started working on it 6 weeks ago and used it for interior lighting. I jumped it to the truck and got the generator started but even after 20 minutes of charging the battery was too far gone to keep the generator running. I finally gave up and got one of the clowns in the shop to bring out a jump box so I could pick the jacks up and leave. With a little bit of effort, it seemed to take a charge so I guess we'll have to see how it does in the future. Oh well, I've been wanting to go to dual batteries anyway and a new battery is still cheaper than all the repairs that they made if I have to buy one.
