When they brought it to my attention I told the service manager I did not want it "repaired", it needed to be replaced. He said they don't try to re-bend awnings for the reason I mentioned and that they never come out satisfactory (in my case new). They installed a new awning. Just fyi. For what appears to be a thousand or so difference from a new one (I did not re-read the thread to get actual posted numbers; using memory) and if you have to pay to get a new awning seems like you would be coming out on the short end of the stick with this one; plus the new warranty if needed etc. on a new one.
Thanks for your reply
I ended the deal

I'm sure that another better deal will come your way. Keep looking, that's half the fun.

C'mon, Ski, you allowed everyone to rain on your first parade, you need to give us a chance to cheer your next parade. What's the deal and what did you buy? (inquiring minds want to know)

Am I understanding you bought an RV in IN and now you need it towed to CA? If I read that correctly, you could either contact any of the RV transport companies up in northern IN and I'm sure they could get it done for you, at a price of course. Or you could look online and that shipping co called ship-it I think, they were made popular by the show shipping wars. Basically several companies bid on shipping your RV.

We pay about $3500.00 to have an RV towed from Indiana to our dealership.

That sounds kinda high but I also realize your paying a transporting company so they have to make money as well as the driver. I was thinking I could easily tow one out there for $2500 though I'm not insured to tow commercially, but that price puts a $1000 in my pocket after fuel both ways, not counting the free sightseeing on the way back!

The dealer bent my arm also when resetting spring ,they don't sell individual arms they replaced both sides complete assembly.

That was last year now I have problem with spring again the awning wont go in( got it in but had to manually twist it) ,there taking a look at it in the spring and most likely replace complete tube.

You can get one arm. We have done it many times.

From what other transporters have posted here and other sites the going rate is in the neighborhood of $1.50/mile. I further suspect that Chuckster should know what he's talking about (he does have that history, after all).

IIRC the GM commented that our dealership uses one transport company and negotiated a discount rate to be exclusive.
