Dealer choice RVBrokers or See-Grins?

I don't know if they've corrected this or not, but there was a defect in the way they assembled the countertops which left a tiny lip on the edgebanding. If you slide something heavy off the counter such as a tv or a microwave, instead of lifting it off, you were likely to get a chip. I agree with prior posts that the other matters you mention sound like abuse. I am not big on maintenence and my TM looks good after 3 years and 20 destinations. - camp2canoe

My 2005 TM looks pretty darned good for it's age. I'd wonder about a dealer that shows a beat up demo unit!

I wish I had known that. I noticed the little lip and did nothing about it. Then DW slid the microwave drawer out to get something out that fell behind it, with the microwave on it, and the little rubber feet caused two chips.

A little light sanding should eliminate it.

I visited See Grins the week before it officially opened. They said that they will not be doing any repairs, but that they have an arrangement with Camping World, which is next door. A local RV repair shop told me that See Grins permits allow them to do sales but not repairs.

RV Brokers ins Sacramento seems to have a better reputation for repairs than it does for sales. I reached his conclusion by reading threads posted here and also at RV.net. I stopped by RV Brokers once when I was in the area. It was after 6, so they were closed. I was not impressed for some reason. Their service center is closed on weekends. Because it would take me 2.5 hours to drive there I would prefer to take the TM on the weekend instead of taking a day off of work.

I bought my TM from Dinuba RV when the were in Rio Vista. At least they were open on weekends.

Right now I am disappointed in my options for the few repairs that I need to deal with.

That pretty well covers it Wayne. RV Brokers has a service person living in a trailer in the service area. In general with advance notice, they'll let you drop off and pick up your TM on Sat mornings.
