I edited my statement above. What my (anecdotal) experience have found was it was more convenient for me. Others that have to take it back when a screw falls out might find it more of a challenge as you suggested.
Yes, and everyone's experience and ability is different. A screw falling out is certainly a sarcastic way of minimizing many issues that new RV's are delivered with. If that was all that ever happened, we'd not be having this conversation. I fixed everything on mine but for a compete slide rebuild which the plant did for me. And really, I'd prefer it that way. Who wants to drag a 44.5' long, 8.5' wide, 20k+ lb RV to the dealer for anything that you can do yourself? Even if it's free, I'd rather do it myself for convenience reasons. Same reason I'd never take a free oil change after buying a new car/truck. However, again, to repeat myself for... what is it... the third time? Not everyone wants or can do that themselves. AND, not ever issue can be handled by the end user. Oh, and to state that an RV tech or non selling dealer can do a repair is certainly true. "CAN" is the key word though and often they are available or refuse. You clearly haven't been around the forums long if you haven't read a million of those stories.
