So, in a down economy, this dealership has so much work it can't do it all, and it blames a lack of service on not enough mechanics. Well that way I'd fix that is to hire another mechanic...
In a down economy? That makes no sense -- so busy you can't take in work does not sound like a 'down economy' issue ...
The RV industry has taken a terrible economical hit the past 4-5 years. The economy had been in a downward spiral and only recently showed any sign of turning. Many employers have been very hesitant to hire additional employees for many reasons, including the high cost of healthcare insurance and future issues with Obamacare costs. Might not seem that way on the farcoast but its that way around here. RV mechanics in the PNW are like marine mechanics, very difficult to keep them busy 12 months a year due to short season so few "extras" are hired for busy season.
