One experience doesn't a trend make! Because YOU got turned away doesn't make it an epidemic! Wow, you live in a small world to think that because something happens to you or a few noisy internet posters, that it must be that way for everyone. You ever think about how the vast majority of people who have no issue, just don't say anything? They are too busy happily camping. Bad news travels fast and lives forever on the net. Same thing happens when a couple people out of a hundred thousand have a certain issue with a new truck. They post about it on the forums and new members think it's an epidemic when in fact it does happen but is as rare as hens teeth. So, bottom line is the minimal amount of posters are not delusional and I never said they were. There are just minimal and I certainly wouldn't spend 9k more on my RV based on their limited experience. Don't do anything scientific and consider the ratio of this happening though. Just go by your personal experience and that of a very few posters who are on RV forums who had the same. We know that EVERYONE is on the forums and they all post what happens while under warranty. It's black and white for sure. Plus it's on the internet so it must be true... :R

Your right it's not an issue. We have just imagined are denials or have been duped by other delusional internet posters :h

I guess we are having trouble reading. If only typing real slow had the same effect as talking real slow maybe you'd understand. :S Let's try it once again. I'll USE capital letters to help you along. I NEVER SAID THAT IT DIDN'T HAPPEN. I SAID IT'S NOT A RAMPANT EPIDEMIC AS SOME WOULD MAKE IT OUT TO BE. A few posters does not an epidemic make. I realize though that you're the most important person in the world and if it happened to you it MUST happen to everyone. How could it possibly be an exception and not the rule? That couldn't be it? :R Come along with me now... if it happened to the majority of people, then the industry would change it's policy as it would seriously effect sales.

Who said it was a rampant epidemic? We are simply stating it is a real issue not a myth. Furthermore others including myself have chimed in that they personally experienced the denial that you are referring to as a myth.
If you read the small print on many RV brochures the RV manufacturers encourage consumers to buy local vs. buying far away. I believe this statement is an effort to avoid warranty denials by non selling dealers.
Nevertheless many travel to get a better deal and dealers continue to avoid doing warranty work on units they did not sell.
