If I hadn't already re-wired my factory battery cutoff switch I doubt I would even bother taking the trailer to the Dealer for this repair.
How hard is it to follow the breakaway switch's power lead to the Battery switch and make sure it's connected to the same stud as the wire from the battery?
I's like the issue with the oven Pilot Lite assy. Cost of just buying the new pilot lite assy and installing it myself was less than what I'd have to pay in fuel to take the unit to the Dealer. Worse yet, you don't just take the Trailer to most Dealers and have the issue corrected while you wait. It's usually a matter of leaving the unit until they can get around to it and that means TWO round trips to the Dealer, one with the Trailer and one without. Also loss of use for a week or more.
I realize that not everyone knows how, or wants to, fix these things themselves but after over 40 years of camping with a TT, it becomes more a matter of survival.
Funny, you'd think that all Safety Related items like breakaway switch, gas lines, etc, would all be on a "Final Inspection Check List" before releasing for transport. Just add "Turn Off Battery and check Breakaway Switch".
Oh well, the more things change the more they remain the same.
