Note that his is a special case. I had an '04 Dodge Roadtrek. While under warranty, there was a recall on the driveshaft universal joint. I took it back to the RV dealer. They wouldn't fix it under warranty because it was a recall on the Dodge running gear.
So I took it to a Dodge dealer. They would do the warranty work, but I would have to pay them to remove and re-install the fresh water tank mounted below the drive shaft because it was an aftermarket add on. So I paid. Then I took a beating trading it in on my current '04 Fleetwood 'C'. It had low miles, but the Fleetwood dealer already had 4 Roadtreks on their used lot that nobody wanted. I got a pretty lousy trade in. Can't say that I blame them. I drive by their back lot from time to time, and my Roadtrek or one that looks exactly like it is still sitting there.
And my Fleetwood 'C' on a Ford frame has been all over the country including Alaska, and still runs like new. Bought a new battery a couple of years ago and need to add new tires and a tune up this year.
