But, look up the state's attorney general. Many states have laws that say that if something is sold with a one year warranty, that means that the buyer gets at least a year's worth of problem free use. So, if you brought it into or informed a dealer or seller's agent that there was an issue, your problem free use time is on hold until the referenced situation is corrected.
Do I have to tell you why this happened?
Yes, there have been dealers that were slimy enough to hold on to a defective item until the warranty expired and then told the buyer that it was out of warranty he he now owed then gonzo dollars for making it the way it should have been.
Matt (Who did warranty for both OE and aftermarket products)
Nonsense. The warranty is on your RV from the DATE, YOU took it to the dealer. So, if any dealer(I have never heard of this in the RV industry) held the unit till out of the original 1 year start date, it would make no difference. The Unit will be tagged from the date the unit was written up by the Dealer Service center. Besides, 1 call to the OEM, will get them to get you to another dealer if a dealer attempted to do something like that. Doug
PS, in 40 years and still in RV Service, I have NEVER heard of a 1 full year of problem free use as a law.
