Crazy Parts Prices from Manufacturers
Recent eye-opener. Got a burnt out marker light on my Demco dolly on my last trip. Called Demco, parts dude quoted me $30 (plus shipping) :R. Went on Amazon & got the OEM part for about $7 ship...

Go into NAPA, "I need oil filter for 2016 Ford, F53, V-10." "You mean an F-350?" Back and forth with this, still can't find it. He ask me again and I replied "No, F53, it is a motor home chassis." He finally produces one.
I get home and get online to NAPA, select my MH in my profile, search for oil filter, yep there it is. At least I was given the proper filter.
Then on the other hand I have gone in with a bearing out of my utility trailer, the number mostly obscured, guy looks at it, takes some calipers and measures it, and tells me to give him some time. I told him no rush, I'm going to go get a sandwich and I'll be back in half hour or so. Had it on the counter when I got back.
