It ain't rocket science.
Not really what the OP wants to hear, but it's a valid point. I've owned 3-4 new RVs over the years, and got to the point where a warranty issue would have to be pretty significant for me to invest the time, energy, and stress to drag a unit back to the dealer for repairs. Particularly since a significant pecentage of the work I've had done at dealers ends up being less than satisfactory, and grossly overpriced. Toilets are stupid easy to remove, replace and repair. Take them up on their offer to provide a new part, and fix it. Easier in the long run.
I agree to
he sooner you realize the warranty is a PIA and not worth much the better off you will be. I consider warranty for major catastrophic failures only. Smaller issues are simply easier to deal with yourself.
I agree that is not how it should be, however the RV manufacturers track record for warranty repairs is far from stellar.
B.S.. Gm replaced 4 tires for me under warranty.. due to mis alignment from the factory. It was not the tire's that were bad it was a misalignment from the factory. Also if you have a failed suspension comnponent that wore out the tires they would replace it if it was due to a manuf defect and not wear and tear.
I'm not sure who GM is? General Motors?.
My point is if you can fix it yourself. Do it going through warranty is more trouble than it's worth, especially for an issue that you can repair yourself.
