3pomsmom,
Don't let all the negative comments get to you. You are entitle to complain as much as anyone else here.
Most RV dealers do not employ "mechanics" that know how to properly work on RV's. It's that simple. Having a motor home for months to repair a lightning strike is a bit long and they absolutely should have kept you in the loop as to the progress. But... as complicated as a motor home can be trying to repair lightning damage is hard. If I were the insurance company I would have totaled it and moved on. You did the right thing trading it off.
