repairs while full time
What does everyone do when repairs are needed on your full time rig? I have heard horror stories of months to get the rig repaired. Is that normal?

We had a tire blow out which caused a lot of damage to our 5th wheel on our way from Columbus, GA to Pensacola. After roadside assistance changed the tire and repaired the brake wiring, we called ahead to the Camping World in Dothan, AL where they repaired the wiring for the leveling jacks.
Once we arrived in Pensacola, the camp host recommended a local dealer. We made an appointment and the dealer gave us an estimate and ordered the parts. They will call us when they are ready to work on our rig. They say it will take at least two days to do the repairs and we can camp (with full hookups) in their lot. They get the rig from 8-5 and we can have it after five. In the meantime we are camping as planned.
We have RV insurance through Good Sam and They have trip interruption which (I think) will pay for (or subsidize) a hotel stay and provide a rental car.
It's all part of life on the road! :)
