RV shops are the same as most motorcycle shops. They over promise and under deliver. One time I dropped of my motorcycle in February. The work was supposed to take 2 weeks. After first threatening legal action and then just threatening physical violence I got my bike back in September.

Different shop, different time, I sent a bike in to be painted. They said two weeks, maybe three. 10 weeks later it was done. I have a dozen stories just like this.

Here is my thing on this. If you cant work on something for a few weeks or months, then don't take it in. Let the owner use it right up to the point you are ready to work on it. They don't do this so they can "lock" in the work and you don't go anywhere else. In my case I could have continued to set up my new motorhome and then brought it to the shop next week.

So you expect people to drop everything when you walk in the door wanting service? That includes all the people just like you who want it now? If a appointment is made you get put in the que. Asking when you might get it back could save you from having to threaten the workers with violence ( brilliant). Then you can decide to leave it or not. If they miss the date go get it back. Your problem is solved, other than getting your stuff fixed.

As you indicated yourself it's not just RV dealers. That's the problem with society today, WE WANT IT NOW. It's like driving down the freeway in a urban area, there is always someone needing to be first - no matter what or who is ahead of them.
