Warranty Issues and denials
In my other thread demonstrated how I usually learn my lessons, THE HARD WAY.
When it comes to warranty issues, I now know that there is no such thing as the one year warranty that salesmen brag about; the manufacturers of RVs don't warrant any sub-components that they install in their RVs - the makers of the sub-components are your only and best source for warranty reinbursement.
The sales and service companies won't tell you the whole story either; in my case the service department would rather the customer pay their $125/hr for time to repair which is more than they would get doing the repair under the rules of a sub-component manufacturer, AND full marked up prices for parts which they are not allowed to do under warranty rules of a sub-component manufacturer. In other words they get less money if they help you find the right person to approve your repair under warranty.
New to all this, I pitched a fit and raised my BP for nothing when I should have....
put your warranty issue or part failure problem here or on another RV forum FIRST! Likely as not, a more experienced RVer has had your experience and can steer you in the right direction BEFORE you go off the deep in.
Take it from this old nasal radiator (Naval Aviator), this is the place to start when you have a problem! Thanks to all those who lend us new guys a hand in learning the best way to care and feed an RV.
