We then drove home to PA in 2 days because we had to go to work so no sightseeing. We stayed in Walmart’s parking lots but not all Walmart’s allow it. It was also our first RV. There is definitely a learning curve when things don’t work. As others have said find yourself a local shop that will do work. My personal opinion on the extended warranty is forget it. Take that money you would have spent on the warranty and put it aside for fixes. The warranty does not cover very much. I have used the forum to enlighten myself and ask for help. Unfortunately many times I was unable to fix it myself and had to take it into the shop. I was amazed that even though someone is a Thor dealer if they didn’t sell it they often won’t fix it. Luckily we have a small family owned dealership that will do work and are reasonable locally. We videotaped the walk through and it has been helpful. Hope you have many wonderful adventures in your new MH.

Congratulations on the coach. Definitely a learning curve to these things. Unlike with autos many independent RV repair shops can do warranty work and might be quicker and maybe even better than a dealership whose primary business is selling.
