warranty secrets revealed

My experience with motorhome dealers and their repair shops, is many of the people they hire seem to have no idea what they are doing. When I'm having to show the repair technician how to operate some system in the motorhome that is a clue. I don't think they have any type of a certification process, or if they do have it many don't use it, like a regular mechanic has. I get the impression they hire people to work on motorhomes and those new hires get trained by the guys before them that learned on the job.

I actually thought about going into the mobile motorhome repair business myself at one time and I think I was only able to find one training program out there that was designed to train somebody to repair and service all the various house systems of a motorhome. When I had my motorhome in for warranty repairs it was one guy doing the work. From a generator repair, to an electrical repair on the turn signals (which they ended up having to take to Freightliner after the dealer couldn't fix it) to a repair of the awning to cosmetic repairs on the cabinets. You probably wouldn't have the same guy come to your house and do electrical work one day, plumbing the next, fix your heater the next, install some cabinets the next, and then fix the refrigerator. I know there are some really handy people out there who probably could do all this, but there are all different professions yet motorhome dealers seem to have their technicians doing all these different repairs. At least that's what I saw.
