Re: rv direct
as for dealers turning away warranty work, it happens alot, now if your passing through on vac. and have a issue, i will bet any dealer will help you out,,,,, BUT, if you take it to a local dealer in your area, and the unit was bought out of state,,,,, be ready for the " take it back to where you bought it" or bring it in on the off seasion ( winter work) most customers wont like it, but some understand.... As for making lots of money on warranty,,,,, LOL,,,,,, that is not true,,, maybe a break even or very, very little. from talking to other dealers in my area most are doing the work,,,BUT,,,, charge the customer there shop rates and have them deal with the mfg. for repayment. this is something I am thinking of doing.... but will more than likely not have to do it because I dont have many issues with Gulf Stream units and can match any of the wholesalers prices out there. Not to be rude, but the RV business is not like buying a car , dealers are not obligated to work on units that they didnt sell, some will some wont.
I think your best bet is to use the prices from the wholesaler w/ shipping and go to your local dealer. In todays market I know they will take it and you will get the service you might need ( depending on the brand your looking at ) might be a huge benefit !!!!!!!!
