Warranty Work - How long is too long

Wow! I'm amazed at the time periods you are all waiting for work to be done on your RVs. Is this a Fleetwood thing? Or perhaps because they know you have an actual house to go to to wait for the repairs they aren't in any hurry to do them. In our 16 years of full-timing we have never heard of any other full-timer waiting like this. How would they do it? They'd have to get a motel room? Never heard of this. I guess we've been extremely lucky with our past Travel Supreme 5th wheel and now our Newmar.

I do suspect some of the many list items are little things. Of coarse if it is under warranty you have a right to have them repaired. I just never bothered manufacturer with little nickel and dime items. I just repair them myself. My new MH had a squeaky hinge, a door latch that rubbed and needed adjustment, a drawer that slid open when driving, the outside step that sagged. If I had complained about those items I could have brought the MH in and it would probably sit in the lot until a very slow day for repairmen. We call it the RV sunshine treatment. When someone calls in with a major issue all the little things get set aside and they take care of big things. That is why some people wait and others don't.
