I can imagine an appliance going out under warranty and taking a week or two to get a replacement but what else should take more than a couple weeks to fix?
Often a dealer will require you to bring in the trailer first. Then they will contact the manufacturer to get the approval for a warranty claim. Then they will have to order the part(s) and sometimes those replacement parts are sent inside a new unit to save shipping costs. This can take some considerable time especially if it's not an "off the shelf" iten like cabinetry, Doors, skirting, etc. Others can chime in as there are several active RV techs on here but I'm just relaying from my personal experiences.
