Don't know where you are leaving your RV for 6 WEEKS but I sure would not.
I full time RV, I don't even have a home to drive or fly back to!! My RV's are repaired the 'same day' they break and/or need repairs right at what ever CG I am at at the time.
If you are in a CG ask the manager who they use for mobile repair.
They come out to you, repair the RV and you are done and have a working RV.
99.999% of the time it is repaired right at your site within ONE DAY. Their trucks are so full of RV parts that in 7 years on the road I only had to wait for an ordered part once....and that was for a full awning replacement. Which BTW arrived the next morning and was installed by noon!
If a part does have to be ordered (unlike a dealership) an RV Mobile repair guy with have the part the 'next day' and be back on that SAME day to install it. And guess what? For half the price of what you will pay at a dealership AND get 10 times more the experience of a tech.
There is NO reason to go to an 'RV dealership' and/or leave your RV for months on end. None, nada, zip, zero reasons to use those whoremongers. :B
A major drivetrain/mechanical breakdown could indeed take alot of time to get parts and repair, and certainly wouldn't be done in a campground by a mobile RV repair guy.
