I don't particularly like the lifestyle.
Heck of a time to figure this out! :W Most of us buying a rig as expensive and elaborate as yours would have already been through the various stages of camping / RVing and would have developed a pretty clear understanding of what this sport is all about. I have no idea what your prior experience may be BUT if you've not done this and simply stepped fully into the puddle without much forethought or prior experience with less expensive rigs then your current predicament isn't surprising at all. :(
I particularly hate having any work done on it because they keep it for weeks.
I think the RV industry needs decent service options.
RV servicing is an entirely different issue, the only commonality it has with your first complaint being you should have figured this out before getting in so deep. None of us like it but the reality is the RV industry is decades behind the auto industry in just about every aspect. We ALL complain about it but at the end of the day just have to deal with it as it is - your mistake would seem to be that you didn't recognize this fact before you sunk so much into this rig you have.
Personally, I'd suggest you not mix up these two issues as one has nothing to do with the other. You've got the rig and if you sell it now you're going to take a HUGE bath so that being the case I'd give it a chance - use that rig for what it's designed for and do a bit of traveling, in the meantime learn more about the inner workings so you can deal with smaller technical issues yourself rather than having to leave it for weeks with the dealer.
