Normally when I see am item missing like this it is because the dealership needed one for another rig and cannibalized the part.
some minor part was missing on my rv and they ordered a replacement. wanted to cannibalize one on the lot and they said they couldn't since they didn't own the ones on the lot. in effect they would be stealing stuff from a rv owned by the bank?????????
reminds me of years back when I was looking at Bs in baltimore, the ones on the lot all had signs saying "no TV". too many stolen to leave in units. :)

This is true. Dealers do NOT own the NEW units they have for sale. The Finance(Floorplan) company owns those units and it is against the Finance policy to ROB parts. Get caught doing that and you risk losing your Floorplan company. Especially after the 2006/08 meltdown. It is actually cheaper for the dealer to Overnight the needed parts, rather than pay a technician to rob the part install and then go back and install new part on robbed unit. Doug
