Good Day, After Hurricane *** in September 2022, my RV had damage to its generator being flooded. I called RV Doctor and they said they could fix it. In short the problem is that they still have my vehicle. Now the rest of the story. When the problem was reviewed by RV Doctor's staff they determined that the generator needed to be replaced. My insurance company agreed with the estimate and RV Doctor was sent a check in the amount of $8075.96. We found that the particular generator was out of stock after extensive research. RV Doctor then asked for an additional $1993.80 for an upgraded generator. That was paid as well. In the last 2 years contact with the company has been almost impossible. I have sent email, made phone call and personal visits. Always stonewalled. Either the person was at lunch, out the office or busy. Finally, with the support of Lee County Sheriff I was allowed to see me vehicle. The old generator had been removed and it appeared that no other work had been done. The *** of RV Doctor said that my old generator was there as was the new one but I was not allowed to see them.All I want to accomplish is to get my unit back along with my old generator and the money that the insurance company has paid. The insurance company is in agreement with this.If you need additional information I have copies of email, text messages and letters. Two police reports have been filed and I have copies of them as well.Thank you for your helpBusiness Response

Regarding the service of your unit, which sustained flood damage from Hurricane **** we wish to provide an update on the progress of the necessary repairs. We acknowledge that the replacement generator was initially on back order, and we confirm that the insurance company has provided payment for this component. Once the manufacturer fulfilled the back order, the generator was promptly shipped to our facility.
We understand your desire to check on your vehicle; however, we must reiterate that visits to the service area are by appointment only to ensure efficient workflow and the safety of all individuals. Our staff members have endeavored to assist you during your unscheduled visits and address your inquiries. We want to assure you that our team is following established policies and procedures in the handling of your unit's repairs. We also acknowledge your bringing the *************************** to our facility. On your visit the day prior to your visit the next day, you were advised of the appointment requirement. You subsequently returned to next day at 9:30 AM, and we accommodated your request to see the unit. During this visit, you inquired about the parts, which are stored in our designated parts room. Please note that the scheduled appointment was specifically to view the vehicle. Our technicians are currently engaged in the intricate task of addressing the electrical wiring, which requires meticulous tracing due to the submersion of the unit in water. The insurance company is consistently being provided with updates on the progress of these repairs. Please be assured that the completion of your unit's repairs is a priority for everyone at RV Doctor. The original generator will be returned to you once the repairs are finalized and the unit is ready for pickup. Furthermore, both Mr. ******** and your insurance company receive weekly updates on the status of the repairs until repairs are completed.Initial Complaint

We understand the customers frustration but as we have informed him, we placed the order for him with the manufacturer but they are not agreeing to refund as this is a specialty order part. We have no control over their rules. The customer would need to file directly against the manufacturer Keystone RV Manufacturer out of ******* IN.

I am rejecting this response because:Original communication from RV Doctor showed that all parts for this repair was to be received by 08/05-08/10; yet there has been an excuse after another one. Deposit payment made even exceeded the deposit amount requested. I would request to see the original order placed with *******. The response provided sounds like the order was just placed and now it will take another 5 to 7 business days which will end up being late next week (if I'm lucky) with Holydays coming up this week.
Please if there is any way to get a record of the order placed back in late July early August and phone and contact person, I will take it upon myself to call them and try to get an answer from them.

I am rejecting this response because:RV Doctor has failed to provide with the service they have been paid for. I have gone thru numerous attempts to get my RV awning replaced since mid July 2024 and still nothing has been done. Deposit payment was issued for even more than what's required and nothing. At this point I'm seeking a full refund of the $2,774.24 paid.

We had our camper roof replaced there a few years ago. We were not impressed with their service as it took them over a year and a half to finish the work. The new roof was supposed to have a 10 year warranty. Sept.2023 the camper roof started leaking again. We did not want to go back to RV Doctor to have it checked because of the slow work and poot communication they had with us but we thought it would be under warranty. We took it back and they stated that it had to be re-caulked every year for the warranty to be in affect. We had not received any paperwork stating this! Since we had already driven all the way there we decided to give them another chance. They said they were going to repair the leak. Well this time they had the camper for 9 months with poor communication again. My husband brought it home July 2024 only to find two things. One, our mattress and mattress topper were missing and after a rain storm the roof was still leaking! We called and e-mailed them and they said they didn't know what happened to our mattress and to bring the camper back for a "water check". We felt they should have done a "water check" to make sure it was fixed prior to us picking it up! We don't want to take our camper there ever again so my husband decided to fix it himself. They e-mailed about the mattress stating that the technicians threw it away because it was water damaged! The leak problem was no where near our bedroom or mattress so we do not understand how it could have gotten water damaged. My husband and I sent them an e-mail with pictures and our complaint and asked them to have the manager call us as soon as possible and they have not responded. The repairs were about ****** and a new mattress and topper will probably be about 4 to-******. We have not bought them yet. Plus materials my husband had to buy to do the job. I am not computer savvy so I'm having a problem uploading the e-mails, pictures and receipts. If there is any way for to me to forward the e-mails?Customer Answer

We have received the complaint & would like to respond. , customer had a new roof put on in Year of 2020 ,
It is all over the internet, in the paperwork that was provided & was explained to them , THE ** ROOF HAS TO BE MAINTANCED YEARLY , by having a ** repair place either sign off on it or having it Maintenance yearly .The customer dropped off in November of 2023 , they never had the Roof resealed ( maintained ) since it was installed in 2020. It is like any other vehicle , it has to inspected & sealed YEARLY .
Before they brought it to us , that was about 2 1/2 year of no maintenance & with the Florida Sun , it is very important to have these sealed , maintained yearly . Due to the Roof leaking , the Mattress did have water damage to it & it was unsafe due to the Mold to leave it in the unit , the customer did inquire about it via Text message, we responded & see response provided that they did receive through a Text message.I'm figuring it out Anyone find our bed mattress & topper
2:12 pmJul 29
It was water damaged so the it had to be thrown out , just saw the notes from the Techs, thx you
******* Rv Doctor
9:52 amThere was No leaking in the trailer except the Back roof vent as shown in above pic- I Do believe we have a problem!!! You guys let this sit in your yard for months while leaking thru all those rain storms!
10:03 amUnfortunately the mattress had to be removed for safety
As this Being Said , this is not a Failure of RV Doctor , this is a Failure of having the unit maintenance properly .
RV Doctor is short Staff like the Rest of the world right now so it did take some time for the Rv techs to get to it , but we did secure it while it was waiting for repair against any future leaks while waiting .Initial Complaint

I dropped my ** off in June 2023 to have 6 tires replaced and the generator connection repaired. At that time the generator was working if I connected to a separate battery but it wouldnt start from the coach battery. I have several text from (*******) the owner stating it would be done by the end of the month. This went on for over 1 year with it never even been started to get worked on. Finally in late June of 2024 ( 1yr later) they told me they finished the tire exchange for 6 tires and charged $160 per tire for 1 hr labor per tire plus the $190 per tire for cost. I am for sure it doesnt take an hour per tire to change one out. Fraudulent billing in the first place. They also told me several times in July that the generator and the tires are all finished and ready for pick up. I set a pickup date in August after confirming with them that these are indeed completed and ready and the bill is around $3100. They confirmed yes.A week before heating to pick it up I asked them to show video proof before I flew there that the generator was actually working well with the connector. I heard nothing until the day i was flying there then all of a sudden they said the generator wasnt actually repaired at all and now the bill will be over $7000 to get it all ready. I said i have all of the text and rmail threads stating this had already been completed and now youre telling me this work had infact not really been done. They said it must have just broke again while sitting for a few more weeks. They now also are going to charge $150 per day they tell me for storage if I dont pay them for a job they lied about completing over and over ******** this point I would like yo pick up the ** as it was with no additional fees at all since they didnt start the work for over a year and they let the condition of the ** deteriorate while in their possession. Extremely disappointedBusiness Response

This response was provided verbally to BBB:
We did work for this consumer replacing his tires, which he authorized. He has not paid for this work. We informed him that if he does not pay for it, we will remove the tires and he will need to pick up his **. Should this happen, he will need to pay us storage fees equaling six months (this is us being lenient, as the ** has been here much longer.
Regarding the generator, per the manufacturer (which is Onan) there are no parts to fix this due to the age of the generator. This part is from the late 80's, early 90's time period and is the original generator. The parts required are obsolete. We informed him about this, however he is trying to hold us accountable for the failure of a very old part. We have no responsibility.

Sept '22 hired RV Doctor to replace parts on several items. They charged my CC $5,000 for parts to start the job. Total cost of all parts was $3,382.55. 1st complaint is they overcharged me for parts.RV Doctor did complete installment of 3 slide out toppers and fan for the fridge. With labor and parts, total for work done = $3,072.58. Via email, ******* said the stairs and water heater relay kit were installed, but they were not. - 2nd complaint - Inaccurate info/false reporting; charging me for work not done.To date, 11 months later, I have not received the parts for the stairs, slide out seals, slide out rollers, compartment door locks, and water relay kit. Knowing their response will be that they cannot control the manufacturers and are waiting on them, I have asked multiple times for the contact information for the manufacturers and the order # so I can contact them directly. - 3rd complaint - To date, RV Doctor has refused to give me this information and does not provide an explanation as to why they will not.RV Doctor says the stairs parts ($780.29) delivered were the wrong parts. They did not order new parts. So, there is no argument that this $ is due to me. They are not waiting on the manufacturer. - 4th complaint - Since March '23, ******* and *** at RV Doctor have ignored my requests to be reimbursed for these parts. ******* told me she would provide docs of when, who, & what she contacted ********* on the parts. - 5th complaint - I've been waiting over 5 months for this information. I have received NO response from my last two emails to *** (May 2nd and July 14th). - 6th complaint - Lack of response and information.Business Response

Date: 09/09/2023
Complaint: 20477089
I am rejecting this response because:1) "***************************** HAS A OUTSTANDING INVOICE" ---- I do not owe an outstanding balance on the invoice. My credit card was charged $5,000 on Sept. 01, 2022. Total parts were quoted at $3,382.55. There has been no communication from RV Doctor of changes in any parts prices. The items on my list of repairs that were actually completed by RV Doctor are the slide toppers ($1,120 in labor) and refrigerator fan ($832 in labor). In an email dated Sept. 21, 2022, ******* told me the stairs and water heater relay kit were installed. This is not true. Upon picking up the *** it was obvious the stairs were not done, even their technician said that and tied up some loose hanging wires at the stairs. As I was returning to *****, I attempted to use the electric water heater and it did not work. Once in *****, I contracted with another ** company whose technician noted there was a bad relay behind water heater. I have not received these parts that RV Doctor says they received from the manufacturer. Therefore, I believe I am owed a refund for them. Adding the labor costs for the toppers and refrigerator fan ($1,952.00) to the parts amount, the total is $5,334.55. Then subtracting the price of the stairs parts ($780.29) and water heater relay kit ($22.49) from this total amount comes to $4531.77. So, excluding the outstanding parts and labor yet to be completed, I have a positive balance of $468.23 remaining on my original $5,000 payment. AT THE VERY LEAST I AM OWED $468.23 IN A REFUND.
2) When ******* picked up her coach , her exact words were the coach is outside the gate & there is nothing that you can do about it, i am taking it --- Its interesting that *** or ******* claims to have my exact words. Id like to hear the recording. First off, I do not refer to my ** as a coach, 2nd off I didnt/dont view it as there is a gate for it to be outside of. --- When I picked up my *** *** and Shellies daughter, ******, attempted to make me pay $2,221.92 which is the total for all the work noted in the original estimate. I pointed out that the invoice was not accurate because they were charging me $512.00 for labor for installing the stairs parts that were not installed and I wasnt going to pay for other labor that hadnt been done yet either. ****** told me that the companys policy is that the invoice needs to be paid in full before taking my **. I told her something along the lines of Well, I have the keys, whats going to stop me from driving away? Whatever I may have said, even then I didnt drive away without her permission. ****** went out back into the business, said she called *******, explained the situation, and ******* told her to let me take my ** and ******* would follow up with me the first of the next week to figure out an accurate balance. --- This follow up conversation was held via phone at MY initiation on January 18, 2023. During the conversation, ******* agreed that I did not have an outstanding balance. Once I told her explicitly that I wanted to cancel the order of the remaining parts, she talked about having to get ********* to cancel the order and authorize a refund, which she said usually takes 2 days. (Its been almost 8 months??)
3) The parts were ordered under RV Doctor Account ,which we will not provide as it is all confidentially . --- This is the first time *** or ******* have explained their reason for not giving me the information on the parts and manufacturer point of contact. If this is true, why didnt ******* just tell me that the first time I asked last fall?! --- If this statement is actually true, there must be a law in the statute books outlining what is confidential and what is not. Please cite the ************* or Federal law that states an ** dealerships parts orders are confidential.
4) We have paid for these items as well, until we have the parts, or the refund, there will be no refund until we receive the one of the two items. --- From the beginning and in EVERY conversation via email or verbally around the outstanding parts, ******* has referred to the manufacturer as Fleetwood. On August 8, 2023, I sent an email to Rev ** (current owner of *********) requesting information on my **s parts. Below is an exact copy of the email exchange between me and *************************, Rev ** **************** Representative II. The order of the emails is inverted for ease in reading and comprehension. Please note Mr. ******* statements pertaining to the parts list provided (copied from the estimate ******* provided), my **s VIN, that Rev ** does not take payment until parts are shipped, and Rev ** is referred to as Fleetwood as they bought them out. --- Who is the company ******* is talking to about the parts??? If not Fleetwood, which parts were ordered through which company?

Hello,
I am looking to make a connection within Fleetwood to check on the status of parts ordered through RV Doctor of ************************************************************** on my 20** Holiday Rambler Vacationer 36SBT, VIN 1F66F5D1Y0A02905.
As reported by ******* at RV Doctor, she had placed the order back in September 2022 for the following parts. The information listed is copied directly from an invoice ******* sent me on September 02, 2022.
Slide Out Seal; EK Seal Base With 1-3/4 Inch Wiper; 1/2 Inch Thickness Part # **-1086 $238.92 x2 = $477.84
Water Heater Relay; Replacement For ****** Water Heaters GHC6A-10E/ GC Part # **-0101 $22.49 x1 = $22.49
New Compartment door lock assy Part # 2**170-01 $160.35 x2 = $320.70
New drivers slide out roller Part # ******** $**5.73 x5 = $678.65
There were other parts on the initial order that were delivered and installed back in September 2022 before Hurricane *** hit the *************** area.
I would REALLY LIKE to SPEAK with someone via the phone instead of corresponding via email. My goal is to find out what ********* has on file in relation to my ** and parts listed. Are the parts still being manufactured? If so, do you have a delivery date? If the parts are no longer available or currently being manufactured, has there been communication back to RV Doctor to this point? Is ********* willing to cancel the order and refund me the costs of the parts?
I have attempted to get these questions answered through ******* and *** at RV Doctor. From the end of November 2022 into May of 2023, they have continually told me that ********* is not responding to their inquiries and there is nothing they can do. As of May 2023, they have stopped communicating with me. So, I am at my **** end and attempting to get answers through your company.
Please have someone call me at your earliest convenience.

Hello ******,
Thanks for reaching out, but we can not check on the status of the order without a order number, from the parts you listed only 1 of the parts has our part number on it. All of our part numbers are 8 digits long. I ran your VIN in the system and I have nothing coming up. We also don't take payment for parts unless they ship. We are here Monday thru Friday 8 to 5 we wouldn't stop contact with a customer if they reached out we are always on the phones between those times. Feel free to call us if you have more questions at ************ and follow the prompts for the parts department. I believe if you press 1 than 3 than 1 you will get someone for Monaco/Holiday Rambler.

Nov. 2022 through Aug 2023.RV Doctor is an RV repair business in **************, *******. It has held my RV for repairs since Nov 10, 2022. My RV was damaged by hurricane *** and is insured. As of Aug. 2023 RV Doctor has completed very few repairs. RV doctor gave me a repair invoice for about $30K. I paid them $15K to start repairs. Very little has been done. RV doctor has gone through financial troubles including a forced eviction, a Chapter 11 bankruptcy in March 2023 and a dismissed (failed) in July 2023.

Hi there ,
We are sorry you feel this way , your unit is a 2019 Forest River & come to find out, that they had supply , vendor problems so that is why we cant get the parts that is required for your unit . The owner unfortunally was diagnosed with Kidney failure out of the blue , so with the consultation of our Commercial attorney , he advised that it was the best way to go , The whole situation was dissolved & disposed . Repairs associated with your unit, you have been notified by the manufacture Forest river that we cant get the parts which is the Delay on that , which is not RV Doctor Fault at all , if they dont make it , we cant get it . Since then we are seeking other sources to get your paneling the best we can to match because we know how important it is to make sure it comes as unform as possible . With limited supply we have to make other routes. Unfortunally not all the complaints are correct & some are , we dont doubt that . RV Doctor is commented to taking care of their customers the best they can with what they have to work with as nothing is prefect . We take pride in customer service & are doing our best to make it better, no one nor business is perfect.
Thank you ,

Complaint: 20459411
I am rejecting this response because: On Nov. 10 2022 RV Doctor ***** hauled my RV (a 2019, 41 destination trailer $60k value) off my lot and took it to their shop for repairs. To this day (Sept 11, 2024) they still have it. Almost 2 years later! My RV was damaged during hurricane **** Repair estimates were $28,000. Its insured. I gave them $15,000 down to complete the work. I was told that repairs would take about 3-4 months and they had all parts in stock except interior wall paneling. I heard very little for months and months. I became worried. I discovered that the business was in a Chapter 11 Bankruptcy and forcibly evicted from their large warehouse. They moved to another large warehouse but had to move again to their current one-bay location. Aug. 2023, I inspected my RV, it was in bad shape but they claimed they would get it fixed. In October 2023, I was told that it was finished. I said I would bring a certified inspector, they agreed. RV Doctor then damaged the floor and said they would cover repairs. I saw it again, it was in bad shape and unfinished. They have never communicated with my insurance company as requested to fix further damage to the roof or kitchen slider. I am hearing nothing for months even though I inquired. In Feb. 2024 I hired a lawyer to demand settlement. They just gave my lawyer, via their lawyer, the same old tired excuse that they are waiting on parts, while my RV sits unsealed unprotected and in poor repair. Sept. 4, 2024 I had an appointment to see it because its finished. What a nightmare. It was raining. My RV is in horrible shape and they tried to tell me that water is supposed to run under the seal flaps, the slider is supposed to squeal loudly then hit the ceiling fan, the floor isnt really rotten. They could never reach my insurance company to fix the floor of the kitchen sliderand on and on. They wanted full payment. I refused because they have destroyed my RV. It is not livable or even salable. They threatened to sue me.
Sincerely,

This response was provided verbally to BBB:
We have performed the work to fix the ** per the insurance claim and per the manufacturer's instructions. To our knowledge, she was paid the amount of the repairs directly from the insurance company, and we have not been 100% paid for the repairs that are 100% completed. She paid us an advance of $15,000, however she still owes us $13,000 plus storage fees that have been occurring since 9/5/24 ($150/day).
She inspected the ** on 9/4 and informed us that she will not pay. We sent her a certified letter shortly after, and she likely is reopening this complaint after receipt of the letter.
It was never our responsibility to contact her insurance company. We did, however her insurance company never returned phone calls, which she is fully aware of and have discussed many times.
We have done the work required, and she has not met her obligations to pay us.

In July 2022 we had awning damage from a storm. RV doctor did the estimate and our insurance company sent the check and we signed it over to them. As of today 5/11/23 the awning is still not installed. In september 2022 hurricane *** hit and damaged our roof and a window. We had them come out again and give an estimate. Submitted to insurance and check received and signed over to them. They did the roof repair in December 2022 but we are still waiting for the window as of today. I have requested updates numerous times with BS answers. Being told they have emails from the companies they work with and that they are sending them to use with ** never receiving anything. I have asked for copies to be mailed and they send nothing. I have asked for a detailed billing of our account multiple times with nothing. I now want the remaining est $5500 to be returned so we can get the repairs done again n and I hope that this complaint shuts them down. They have Horrible customer service and never answer the phone.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because: the awning has been in waiting since July of 2022. There delay in delaying with it has been unacceptable. I have requested a refund to Geico for all parts and labor not provided and have spoken with Geico as well and they agree to the refund and will assist in the repairs elsewhere. RV doctor has been given the same request. Im no accepting anything other than the refund for the awning material and labor and the window material and labor and excess funds I know they received as well. I refuse to do anymore service with this horrible company

RV Doctor stored my car from April 19, 2022- November 7, 2022 . Their contract indicated the car would be started monthly to keep the battery from going dead. I gave 2 weeks notice as requested by them that we were picking the car up Nov 7 and ******* indicated we were scheduled and could pick it up between 9am and 5pm. We had a 5 hour drive and we were on our way when she messaged me that my car was blocked in by 4 cars with dead batteries and it would not be ready until after 4 pm. When we arrived around 4 pm she then told me they lost the keys and to come back at 5pm. At 5pm. the car was still not ready and she indicated they had a new key made. we finally were able to leave at 6pm with the car. The car emitted a strong sulphur odor on the way home . The next morning the car would not start and would not hold a jump charge. It also kept locking me out- all doors locked. We discovered the battery was leaking and damaged ( bulging) and replaced it with a new be from ******* We also noticed the fuse box cover was off and the horn fuse was pulled out. I relayed all of this to ******* and she denied any responsibility. The car would still not start with my original key fob and kept locking me out so we took it to the dealer in *********** for diagnosis. The technician informed ** that the new key made by RV doctor had disabled my fob/key as well as the fob/key RV Doctor had lost. I informed ******* of this and sent her copies of the invoice and receipt for the new fob/keys . She kept insisting they would return my key fob when they found it. I kept telling her it was no longer any good as they had disable it . I have not received any other response from them other than an acknowledgment they received the key fob invoice and receipt . I just found the battery receipt as well and it is attached here. I believe they should reimburse me for these damage they are responsible for totaling $569.29Business Response

****************** dropped off her car from April to November for storage. During that time we had a natural disaster come through *** County, we secured her car during the storm with no damages. She was advised when dropping off the car for storage that if the battery is not new, we do start the unit's up every month, their is a chance the battery could not hold a charge. ( Something that RV Doctor Is not responsible for) When cars sit longer then one month it is not guarantee the battery is going to stay charged even though, the units get started every month, they are not driven around to charge the battery. The battery is not something that Rv Doctor can reimburse at it is an old battery in the car and the car sat for longer then one month. The key fob was misplaced and will be returned to the customer, we can not offer a refund on that because we are returning the key fob. Everything got secured for the storm and in the placement of that the key fob was misplaced. We apologize about the inconvenience on the key fob. The battery is a maintenance issue when placing the car into storage.Customer Answer

I am rejecting this response because:There is absolutely no need to return the lost key/fob as it it useless due to the key you had programmed. I had to have two new key/fobs programmed by my dealer in order to get my car to function properly. You disabled my original key/fobs! If this is difficult to understand I would suggest you call *******************************, the Buick dealer in *********** so they can explain this better -as they told me the original key/fobs are only good as paperweights now.

We have received this & would like to respond ,
This customer did order a AC unit , due the High demand & the supply chain issues ( which i have attached the documents email ) the company
has already paid for the item, which we are currently waiting for the back orders to be filled as with the customer . We are not the manufacture & have no control over the estimated arrival of the
AC unit . Unfortunately we can provide a refund because this not a error of the RV Doctor , this is a supply chain issue & we have to wait a process for the back orders to be filled. We will continue
to keep the customer updated as we get them from the manufacture . With the National wide supply chain issues that everyone is experiencing right now , things are unforeseen .
Thank you again so much & unfortunately special order are non-refundable. ( see signed workorder by customer documenting that )
Please reach out to **** as well regarding this which is contact info is in the documents provided .

I am rejecting this response because:This is not a resolution, its status quo. Begs the question why am I being penalized. They have a business relationship w the ** manufacturer.
They reached out saying our unit was in, then the unit is no longer available. They ignored my correspondence.
Im not confident the A/C unit needed to be replaced ** it is working after another company repaired it.
There is no loss to RV Doctor ** the money was retained by them.
Doesnt seem fair to hold a customer to the same risk as a *******************.
We plan to sell the rig I two months. The **C unit will be of no use.
I believe RV Doctor knew of the backlog when it was ordered and didnt tell me.We no longer trust RV Doctor given their deceitful behavior.

To whom it may concern ,
We have received this & we are rejecting the refund ,
When this was ordered, RV Doctor has no ETA of the ** , we are not the manufacture nor do we have control
over the arrival of the item . When this was discussed with pricing with Customer : *******************************, he agreed to the
charges & he was told that we have no control over the arrival , he agreed to that at the time the techs were out there.
We have keep in full communication with via text message & email . We have provided information from the manufacture , we are
not holding the customer funds as the company has paid for the ** when ******* ordered the unit . We cant do anything else over & beyond this as we
are dealing with the source who makes it, & we deal with them everyday on backordered items & provided all the documents to back that up from the manufacture.
We unfortunally dont believe that this unit was repaired , unless we see proof from the customer. I understand the customer is selling his unit , but we have
many text messages over a year ago with the exact conversation that he is selling it .
