Re: [VAL] Inland RV

[Daisy Welch <jtdjtd@xxxxxxxx>]

On Inland, like it or not there is a ton of stuff that you can only get 
there, Andy is the only person who has stepped up to the plate and 
continues to make and stock hard to find parts. As has costs for this he 
must pass along.

I dunno about his service, he sures knows these trailers.

In defense of non Airstream RV repairs: those of you who are lucky 
enough to live close to the great gods of AS repair like Walt and 
others, good for you. the rest of us have to make do. My local AS dealer 
  actually laughed at me for asking to order parts for my '73, so I 
found a great outfit in Fitchburg MA, Dufours RV.  The service guys love 
that trailer and my money and always do a great job. Most of the guts of 
an AS are the same as all other RV's. I haven't needed structural or 
skin repairs yet. For the skin I would find an airplane repair guy and 
for structural a horse trailer guy. If I bring my trailer in with 
evidence of carelessness in her care and feeding, I get a good talking 
to. MAny folks who really know RVs appreciate AS and are pleased to work 
on a quality product, instead of putting bandaids on a rapidly 
decomposing SOB. Of course, they'd rather sell you one, that's where the 
$$$$ is for these guys.
