Warranty Work at Dealer
This post isn't meant to bash any brands or dealers. Just wondering if others have experienced substandard service at their dealers. Been RVing for abour 20 year and owned several trailers, both 5th Wheels and Travel Trailers. Guess we've been lucky because I've never had to take any of them back to the dealer for any work. Repaired minor issues myself. Brought a new Jayco last year and took it back for some fairly minor warrenty work; floor brace missing, slide roof not glued down, window shade broken and a few other small items. When we took the trailer in we were promised it back in 2 weeks since we had a short trip planned. Thought that was reasonable as I could have done everything in probably a half day if I had the time. Picked up the RV today after 5 weeks and had to basically threaten them to get it now. Of course the RV was filthy and the first thing I noticed was the big slide rubber seal was not attached and blowing in the wind. Nothing wrong with the seal when I brought it in. Had to laugh when I asked about the window shade that wasn't fixed. Was told they's get it ordered on Monday. After 5 weeks they hadn't even ordered it. Also chuckled when we got the rig home. One small item they were suppossed to fix was a kitchen drawer catch, as the drawer opens during travel. They had annotated on the work order "drawer latch replaced". When we went in the trailer at home, the drawer was open all the way - some fix. Guess it's back to doing these repairs myself. We're very happy with the Jayco, no so much the dearlership service department. I'll be talking with the service manager on Monday, for all the good that will do. Am I just unlucky or is this the standard? Bill4.1KViews0likes20Comments20" TV Tires
Just brought a new Chev Silvarado 1500 with 20" Goodyear Eagle tires. When doing a little research on the tires, which I wish I had done before buying the truck, found out they're passenger car tires. I'm a little dubious about towing with them. I'm not having much luck finding a rated 20" tire, either "D" or "E". Anyone know of such tires? BTW, the truck has the 5.3, 3.42 re-end and HD tow package. Tows my Jayco Whire Hawk 30 DSRE pretty darn good. THANKS4.7KViews0likes23Comments
