Re: Who provides service ?
well it gets better....... just got a call from the GM shop. The problem is that when they put the RV stuff on the chassis and connect all the electrical they connected a cable to the wrong panel. the service manager said that happens a lot even though GM gives those RV builder the plans on where/how to hook up the electrical. because of this its is not covered under the Chevy Warranty. The good news is the repair is only around $200 , which of course now I have the fun task to get back from THOR.755Views0likes0CommentsRe: Who provides service ?
quick update of what happened during the last 2 weeks. Camping World told me to bring the RV to a Local Truck repair shop ( they would handle warranty work ).. which was wrong.. Talked to the General manager of Camping World and he said they would call the Local shop and make sure I dont have to pay for the diagnostics. They never did and when I tried to pick up the RV I had to pay $162. ( trying to get that back from CW now ) RV didn't start and when it started ran at reduce power. Returned to shop and called "Good Sams Roadside " they would only Tow me 15 miles to next place that could work on it not the Chevy dealer I finally found that has a truck division. I canceled their membership since I have the same (limited ) coverage with Geico... Called CHEVY roadside assistance, they agreed to tow to Chevy Dealer but when they heard it's a Motorhome they said WE CANT TO THOSE. I opened a case with Chevy Customer Care and after 2 days of arguing they agreed to tow the RV to Chevy. This should be happening right now and I hope this is the last of the hurdles I have to jump through. I guess the lesson learned is that an extra roadside Assistance is pointless while you have warranty and roadside assistance with the Chassis provider. After the warranty expired check with insurrance to see what they cover and maybe get additonal Roadside coverage with someone like "Coach-net" which seems to have unlimited towing or atleast get something that does 100 miles for free. the really sad part is that a regular Chevy Dealer and shop does not seem to have the ability to refer me to a place that can handle the warranty work. They all referred me to local shops that could do the work but would not honor the warranty. .... to be continued ... I guess755Views0likes0CommentsRe: Who provides service ?
of course I asked the chevy dealers that said they cant service it.... they had no clue I heard everything from "try the one in xyz" to "maybe soandso in sometown,us will do it. I am sure they have the information somewhere but no one cared enough to look it up somewhere. so suggesting JUST ASK doesnt always help...755Views0likes0CommentsWho provides service ?
I had an interesting conversation with campingworld and 8 different chevy dealers 2 days ago. When I was leaving my campsite last weekend my RV did not want to start ( THOR Freedom Elite bases on the Chevy 4500 chassis ) after a while of trying, opening the hood and giving the engine some stern looks it started but the "Check Engine Light" stayed on. We drove home and when I tried to start the RV the next days the "Check Engine Light" turned off ( after the third time starting it ) Since the RV is less than a year old and I am due for inspection and oilchange anyway I figure I would call the closest Chevy Dealer and let them do the service / read the code and see what caused it. Pretty simple I thought but I was wrong. I called 7 Chevy dealerships and they all told me they dont service do warranty cases for RVs. I finally found one 65 miles away that can service them but he had a nasty additude from the beginning saying that because THOR "cuts the chasis apart it could be anything and might not be covered under the Chevy warranty... I called Camping World in Kingston and spoke to the Service Manager. He said they do warranty work for Chevy in RVs... then someone said something in the background and he retracted and said they can read the code and see if it was something bad, he also stated he was surprised that I had such a hard time to get someone from Chevy to help. So whats the deal ? When I bought the RV I was told that ANY Chevy dealer will handle service and warranty issues with the engine... Does anyone have / had any similar experiences and how did they deal with warranty issues ? ( related to the engine )7.8KViews0likes21CommentsRe: RV jewlery
