Not criticism of their website skills Greg… but of their laziness. Their wanting everything spoon-fed to them,… their thinking that their particular issue is unique, and has never happened to any other RV owner on the face of the earth since the beginning of time… without doing a lick of searching for an answer to that issue which has probably already been posted online before.
…Criticism for their lack of doing research on their own first… and only THEN, if not finding what they need, ask questions.
…for their naďveté of buying lower-cost, entry-level units… and having the same quality & service expectations of someone who bought a 2-million dollar Tiffin motor coach.
…of their blaming of the manufacturers & the dealers… not for quality control issues, but for things they should’ve done research on themselves PRIOR to blindly handing over their money.
These are the things that just amaze me. I mean, just recently, someone new posted a complaint about the size of the bed in the new RV they just bought. Are you kidding me?? The whole reason one buys an RV is to have somewhere to sleep while traveling or out & about enjoying nature. Who doesn’t lay down on the bed to test it out BEFORE buying it?
I read another post where someone paid money for the rig & took it home with components they KNEW weren’t working, based on the dealer’s word that the part(s) were ordered, and they’d call when they arrived. Wow… really? Question: you’re at the car dealer, ready to either hand over a check, or sign the paperwork on a brand new Lexus… and while you’re inspect the car, you notice the AC isn’t blowing cold air, and/or the stereo system isn’t working. Are you going to give them the money and drive it home? Hell no. But yet, for some reason, the person saying they did exactly that with their new RV is complaining. That baffles my mind.
They remind me of new yuppie Harley-Davidson motorcycle buyers, who’ll spend over $20,000 on the bike, and another $5-to-$10,000 in extra chrome & louder exhaust parts… but won’t spend a measly $300 on a class to improve their riding skills. These are the guys you usually read or hear about on the news, who failed to negotiate a turn, and either killed or severely hurt themselves.
If stuck on the side of the road, or maybe just arriving at the campsite, or ready to leave… and an issue arises that they need IMMEDIATE help with… that, I understand. You don’t have time to research it… you need an answer now. I get it. But if not…
Look… if someone needs help, I’m more than happy to assist, if able. Hell, if I’m anywhere nearby, I’ll drive 5 or 6 hours to get to you… bring tools you may not have.. or otherwise do whatever I can to help. I’ve been there. I’m not immune to having needed assistance… and lots of people here have provided good info that I’ve desperately needed in the past.
But you can best believe that, before beginning to type out a request, I’ve already searched nearly everywhere I could on my own for the answers beforehand. Google, this site, RV.net, the brand documentation and/or website customer support sections, etc. I didn’t just get online willy-nilly, and ask if someone else could do all of the research work for me.
I don’t know, maybe it’s a generational thing. I, and the majority of my peers, were raised to be self-sufficient to the extent possible… to only ask for help when all other means of remedy had been exhausted. Not because of pride, but because it made you learn the skills necessary for the task. But I guess that doesn’t seem to be the norm today,
