Judy, that panel looks so good now. I don't blame you for putting in a little protection for the future, though. I am glad you are being so well taken care of.

Judy,
So glad that your rapairs have worked out good for you. The fact that ours didn't have the same outcome is the reason my husband will never buy another Fleetwood product :twisted: . Great that you are so happy. Of course, I would have been happy with what they have done too. :lol:

Not counting the parts, I had a full-time service technician work on my vehicle 9 hours the first day and 8 hours the second day. Plus there were a couple of others who maybe spent an additional 7 hours.

This means 25 hours of work at the rate of about $140 per hour or a total of $3,500. I am sure the steps alone had to have been maybe $500-$700. Most of the other parts were small things like latches, but this whole thing had to have cost them at least $4,000.

Now consider that there were only two Class C motorhomes, and the other 10+ were big diesel Class As with a starting price of $250,000 each--maybe average new cost was $500,000 each. (These were big, really shiny expensive-looking rigs!) I am assuming maybe half were warranty work.

They do not advertise this service for warranty work, and in fact, it took a lot of complaining and tries at dealer repair on my part, plus some hints about participating in a blog, before they told me about this option. I am guessing that they do not want this cost with the average cheapo Class C buyer, right???? So they send almost all of us to the dealers for repair.

Does this make sense to all of you?

Judy, you are just as important as those big rigs. More so to us!
