Another vote for it's common. BTDT too many times. If they aren't ridiculously slow, they can be ridiculously inept. 'Course, they can be slow AND inept too.
After 3 attempts our dealer couldn't fix a problem with the bathroom door or awning. :M On another trip in to get some things fixed, I asked about one of the items on my list and the service person said they wouldn't fix it and added "it's just a travel trailer". Wow... :M:M Then there was the time they tried to scam us for $1,000 to replace blown seals and rebuild the brakes but in the end they just slapped it back together. (One season later I found out what they did.) :M:M:M It's a dang good thing I like to tinker with stuff and can tackle just about anything.
Many have often asked about what's a good quality RV and I often say you need to look into the quality of the dealer too. A perfectly good RV can be turned into a nightmare by a dealer.
After 3 TTs in 3 years, I've become a hardened and cynical RV-er. 'Nuf said otherwise I won't be able to stop (need a tranquilizer about now).
