Replacing jacks is not a big deal. It sounds to me like hubby could remove the jacks and you could deal directly with HWH and get the whole thing done. BTW could the jacks be rebuilt? HWH does that also.

Probably yet another mistruth by the dealer.

I'm about to try someplace new. Very tired of asking that work be done only to have some half-baked POS fix done, or to find out later that the work was NOT done, and to have them recommend expensive fixes for stuff that isn't even broken yet. Sorry, I'm done with you. Looking for a new chassis place now in CT...

You need to go get it. Do the jacks yourselves and find your own B&F shop to do the door. These guys are going to burn you real good one of these times. Maybe they are the only game in town and there in lies the problem. They think they are untouchable. Teach them that they are not and get out of there. jwmII wny_pat • View posts Western NYS Senior Member Joined: 08/11/2007 View Profile Online Posted: 07/29/10 09:58pm Link  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Tell Stanley to take several deep breaths.

This is some of what BBB says of Brent's RV. "Based on BBB files, this business has a BBB Rating of C on a scale from A+ to F." Winnebago Journey TN Lic.

I have replaced both the kickdown and the straight down ones.

A lot of people do not have any mechanical ability and they make a lot of money based on that fact. This time however they got caught playing the game by someone (Stanley) that obiviously can do things for themselves. Stanley knows that you can drill out rivets thus they got caught. Pretty basic skill for the do it yourselvers.

What the Service center was doing, was to remove the other doors and fender skirt to SLIDE all the other doors and Fender Skirt down the floorline track and then remove the damaged door. That would be the correct way on some model RV doors. Yes, it does take time to do that. As long as the customer is OK with drilling out the mount rivets, that would be the better way to do. Some RV's you do not have anyway to drill out the door from the rail mount track. I don't believe they were trying to rip off Stanley. They were just incompetant, and did not look at the BEST way to accomplish the task. But, it remains, WHY ANYONE WOULD CONTINUE A BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP WITH A SHOP THAT HAS CONTINUALLY SHOWN INCOMPETANCE.
