C'mon. This has not been about Doug's "gobs of experience". That's not in question.
What IS in question is his knee-jerk criticism of RV owners who want to do their own maintenance, but who encounter problems getting manufacturer support, as I have with HWH. It took literally MONTHS, and that's totally unacceptable.
His attempt to compare that to contacting any of the automobile manufacturers for similar technical support is laughable - cars are one thing, RVs are something else.
Take your car to your dealer to get something fixed, and you get it back in a day or so. When I try the same thing with my local RV dealer, I'm told flatly up front not to expect to see it again for at least a month, or more, and my experience has been that it probably won't even be fixed.
So there ya go - does not compute.
