HELP -mechanic damage & de-winterization
Hey everybody. This gal could really use your support.
While in the shop, had them dewinterize the unit. This was on the invoice and I was told they also cleaned minerals out of the hot water heater.
Once home, and moving about in the RV, I found that the monitor panel showed that the grey water and holding tanks were half full, and, I found pink tinted water coming out of my kitchen faucet. It would appear that it was not completed properly.
Next, and here's the biggie- I see that some body damage to the cabover was done to it while in the shop. Cracks in fiberglass , a dent that looks like delamination and a split piece of wood in the interior- on one of the horizontal bars ( near the center) that is where the front under curve begins. I know this because I had the vinyl panel off prior, and had been cleaning up there from a small past water leak, planning to replace that knee bump panel just to freshen it. So I was very familiar with what was going on up there. In addition, to assess, I put that same panel back, it now sticks out about an inch or more, from the wood that got pressed into the cab. No longer flush fit. !!!
The past water damage was minimal. 2 months ago I drove it over 1000 miles, and none of these things were there when I took off the vinyl knee panel. only when it came back from the shop.
This was not admitted to then, so I imagine they won't admit it now that I am off their lot.
Any advice? It is HUGELY expensive if the repair is done properly- already got it video and photo estimated.
I have video and photos.
So disheartened. Oh humanity. Why can't people just do the right thing?
