Does everyone seem to have a problem locating shops to repair class a Homes. When repairs need to be done to anything beyond the camper section. All the Ford dealers say they can't do the work on Motorhomes. No lifts big enough.
1) You are absolutely correct. I called every ford dealer in my area and more. Only one said they would do work on mine but limited to oil changes and general inspection.
2) I called the Ford customer service number shown above and they gave me the name and number of all the Ford service centers in my area. Now, go reread #1. Their lists are way out of date.
3) I talked to my local Camping World who sells Ford based motorhomes - Who do you send your customers to for service? Their sent me a small shop 20 miles away which had not been cleaned in years, did not have a lift, but would work on it.
I now take it to a truck service center for all chassis service. BTW I had this exact same problem when I bought a brand new 2000 Winnebago Rialta on a VW power train. Ended up with using a small independent service shop.
