I like that you are open minded to a misunderstanding and giving it a chance. That being said if they even gave the slightest indication of rushing or leading my inspector, I'd be out of their. The inspector needs full freedom to give a non biased evaluation.
Thank you! We are not sure what transpired between the inspector and the dealership but the reality of the inspection (for both us and the warranty inspector) was quite good and surprising. DH has pretty good skills in working with things; but it was nice to have an extra set of eyes looking. We were not relying solely on his assessment but the thinking was if they were going to disallow some component from our exclusionary policy we would know about it right away.
We had been at the dealership three times to look over the motorhome and took it for a test drive. No pressure was exerted to sign on the dotted line and we were allowed free time in and around the unit. The problem of coarse was the snow and cold during that time period. They were also getting ready to do a boat/rv/travel show.
We gave them a list of things inside and a few that we could see from the outside without having to crawl under or climb on top. They promised to fix and to give us an opportunity to look it over before buying. When DH called about the refusal for the inspector it sounded like they were going to limit the time we had for our own inspection and we had concerns.
THE REALITY: Everyone had free access and freedom to do what was necessary to make a decision inside a warm environment. The tech who was with us was knowledgeable and helpful. It turned out they fixed a few issues inside that wasn't a concern for us and pointed out repairs made outside. Things that were not on our list - but replaced or repaired - included new house batteries, outside porch light, replaced the outside entertainment center (not a tv:(:(), inside shower wand. They showed and allowed us to work the items in the coach to our satisfaction.
We signed and paid for the rig and DH drove it home. Now waiting for this latest snow/cold system to go through so that I can start moving things in.
