It all comes down to how lucky you feel.
There are very very few, if any dealers that are capable of major/specialized repairs. They simply do not have the trained capable help and shop setup to handle them. It is so rare that they will not make the investment to do it right.
If you are unfortunante enough to require such work... The factory is the best and in many cases only option. There are many threads on this. in quite a few of them, the dealer realizes that the repair is beyond what they can do, and THEY make the decision to hand it off to the factory. These cases are the lucky ones. Other cases have the dealer attempting and botching the repairs sometimes several times, and then insisting it is good. Then the customer fights on their own to get the factory to fix it right.SOMETIMES they are successful. But in these cases, the RV is always out of commission much longer than if the factory had been involved from the beginning.
That's an accurate statement.
