I feel good about Winnie.
The items phil lists to make the good point that W has been around a while and is attentive to all sorts of hardware features that add luxury and added performance for the RV owner…and they provide very detailed W parts lists for every unit.
I have seen what W charges for W-specific parts as a friend has a W class A, and here, you do need to pay to play.
He needed 4 newly engineered plastic gadgets (maybe 4”x2”) that replaced the OEM stuff that locked a sliding door in place while moving, and $130 later he had them in his hands.
On a recent trip when an electric part of his diesel fuel pump went out, he opted to only pay $1000 for the part, not the $5000 for a whole new fuel pump.
Not knocking ‘em, but it does remind me of Mercedes stuff.
