The last time I went to the dealer I bought my rig from for service was some 16 years ago. That's when it went in under warranty after it's first trip out. Yes, they did fix the issue under warranty and all it cost me was time and travel. They actually took it in and "fixed it" in less than 5 days.
But, within only a couple of months and two more trip later, the same issue happened again and guess what. I ended up fixing it myself while camping with some simple parts I got from the local ACE Hardware store for a total cost of about $10 and it's been working great ever since. :)
It was a plumbing issue with the P trap in the shower, and all I did was install a rubber collar between the P trap and the pipe going to the gray tank and BINGO. No more broken P trap pipe and leaking from every sink in the trailer because it all goes down that P trap!
I've done a TON of other mods and fixes over the years, but it's still the first and only TT I've owned since 2002..
Yes, I have tools and know how to use them, and I get that there are other's that can't or won't deal with that kind of stuff..
As I'm getting older myself, my DIY projects is getting less and less and I like just "signing the check" more now too, but I still like getting my hands dirty every now and then.. :)
