I am new into RV life and guess repairs are slow in this world

Repairs can be extremely slow in this world. unfortunately the "real slow" time (May through Sept) is rapidly approaching.
On my Forest River, my power awning deployed (came out) while driving 55 mph on Interstate 95. Luckily it happened as I was preparing to exit the highway for home. The awning was under a Dometic recall and I had not been notified by Dometic or Forest River of any vehicle or system recalls. It took two months before I could get the coach into any service center just to look at the awning, let alone do the repair. Once I selected a service center Dometic pre sent all parts and materials which were on-hand when I arrived (two months later) but it still took the service center three weeks to complete the repair.
Also, Forest River only tracks major items such as AC units, refrig, stove, microwave and televisions by serial number and VIN. The component list I received from Thor, upon my request, has everything with a serial number listed to include awning motor, awning mounts, dash radio, etc... In this regard my hat goes off to Thor. Thor seems to have far better records of how my coach is configured and seem more willing to share this info than Forest River was.
Heck, Forest River never, ever contacted me after buying that rig. Thor called the house within two weeks. I believe the lag time is a result of the dealer's notification to Thor and their registration of the warranty on my behalf.
