repairs while full time
What does everyone do when repairs are needed on your full time rig? I have heard horror stories of months to get the rig repaired. Is that normal?

We have been full timing since 2009 and we badly damaged one side of our fifth wheel when it was brand new. We called the company we purchased it from and told them our situation as we are full timers. They took a look at our rig and ordered all the parts needed and called when all the parts were in. We took the rig in and they told us it would be two weeks because there was a lot of work to be done. We drove to a beautiful area in Texas and stayed in a hotel for two weeks. When we returned home they were still working on our rig because some of the parts arrived later than they said they would. This company loaned us a bumper pull trailer, free of charge, and we stayed at an rv park until our fifth wheel was ready. It took 5 weeks for the repairs to be completed. Our service adviser kept in touch with us with updates on how the repairs were going.
Another time, we had a minor issue and spent the night in the company's parking lot with full hook ups free of charge.
Sometimes it depends on what type of work your rig needs and the company you take it to. We were very fortunate that they loaned us the trailer to stay in.
Good luck!
