I'm having some alternator issues. I put a new one on in August and on the way to Tucson it seems to have quite alternating ( I know thats not what it does!). Any way does anyone know of a good truck shop here? I called Lazy Days, which is where we are staying, and they said they would call me back to schedule and didn't and i called and left a voice mail, and they still didn't call back.Called Freightliner to schedule an appointment and they don't take appointments but said to bring it in and within 3 hours they would work me in. Don't like that so much. If anyone has a good place here would appreciate your help.Thanks to all!

If it were me I'd walk the few feet from the park and talk to Lazy Days in person.

Have you had any work done at Lazy Days? Not sure if they won't call me back I want to give them the money..

We had work done at LaMesa right across the road from LD and was very satisfied with their work.

Thank you Pig farmer, I'll check with them, We went to their RV show today at the Pima fairgrounds and they seemed very nice, low pressure. I'll give them a call tomorrow. Thanks

My friend bought an RV from that Lazy Days two years ago. She doesn't have anything nice to say about their service department.

It could also simply be a bad alternator. I bought one from NAPA and 6 months later it was dead. It came with a 1 year warranty and I walked it into NAPA and walked out with a new alternator. That was about a year and half ago and it's still running great. Sometimes, things just break. Hope you have a warranty on your existing alternator.

I'd agree with another poster that you should start here:

Assuming your chassis is a Freightliner, I would go directly to them. If you have doubts call 800-ftl-help and talk it over with them.

What Brett says is indeed the case, but a conversation with facotry support can sure be a confidence builder.

I own a Prevost. Freightliner does excellent work on all of my engine related issues. It's not rocket science. The components are all very similar across all platforms.

One should never trust an RV dealer to deal with chassis stuff. ( There are a few exceptions). You are very close to Freightliner and they are a good shop. Pricey. Have you tried to find an auto electric shop that does big trucks? FL charges about $130 an hour. It is the cleanest shop I have ever seen. They do a lot of MH work. Premiere is high priced and not that great.

Totally agree. Go to Freightliner.

W.W Williams has also done quite a bit of work on our coach in Tucson if you happen to be adverse to freightliner for some reason.

You might want to talk to Rick's RV Service. I had him do some work and he seems to know his stuff.

Headed to Freightliner in the morning. Will keep you all posted. Just don't like not having an appointment. No big deal. Have a new book to read as I sit in the parking lot!
