Why do RV dealers take forever to fix things
Just read a post about someone needing repairs, and it was going to be several weeks before he could drop it off, and then another couple weeks before work would be done.
I don't understand how dealers can be so swamped and not accommodate the demand.
Seems they need a bigger place, or more employees, or better management. Or do none of the dealers have any desire to grow?
I had a long conversation once with a regional rep for CW, who moaned about never getting the correct parts they ordered and blaming things on the mfg, and also when the RV season is over, they have to lay employees off, so they can't find anyone who only wants to work seasonally. (seems like something retired RV'rs could do!!?? I'd work part time fixing the things I already know how to fix)
Seems that CW maybe could ship those employees to Fl, or Tx, or some other warm place during the down season in the northern states.
I realize it's probably not that simple, but for crying out loud, there has to be a better way!
What do those of you who have been around a while think? Is there a better way?
