Cabinet Door fell off... Wolfpup 2017
Recently on the way home from a short camping trip, the cabinet door to the left of Microwave fell of the hinges and ended up sliding around on the floor. When I arrived home, I entered the WolfPup to do some clean up, and found the door in a few pieces on the floor. The hinges still on the frame, looks like the screws pulled right out of the cabinet. I never noticed them being loose, but always noticed the hinge squeaked a little. No real damage to the cabinet, but I can see where it must have been hanging on for a few miles bouncing off the frame. The only contents of that cabinet are paper plates, drink holders and plastic utensils. Nothing heavy, and it was all still in the cabinet.
So I contacted Forest River last month, and have been in this holding pattern waiting to find out if I can at least buy one, will they cover this and send me a replacement, etc. (Its still covered under factory warrantee, but the last thing I want to do is leave the trailer with dealer for weeks waiting on a cabinet door. Even driving to the dealer and having them look at it can be hours if not an entire day process. Its cheaper to buy a new door.
Anyone have any luck dealing with forest river and a replacement like this, or any item like this that is easier replaced by owner? Do I really need to get the dealer involved?
