I share most of the posters feelings that this is a general malaise among pretty much all sectors of retail. However I think, with some exceptions of course, it is really prevalent in the RV industry. What I wrote about Capitol RV here could be equally applied to Swenson RV and a few smaller ones.
As for the web, yes I could have done that but I am up against a firm and quickly approaching deadline to be out of my house. If I cant find something I am making it, it;s faster.
I have longed for a good Marine Supply store like Seattle Marine or Fisheries Supply they seem to actually carry an inventory of everything. And everything you need for an RV is there and in many cases of better quality. AND you can buy very good SST fasteners of every type. Which are unheard of at places like Menards/Home Depot. I even went to Fastenal here...no luck.
