Roo Warranty Work

Ok, bought mine from McGeorge's in Virginia, but do not want to drive over 1200 miles back and forth to go there, so looking for another dealer that can provide warranty work near me?

I see Driftwood RV in Ocean View NJ is the closest, has anyone dealt with them, or do I just call Forest River and get them to help me?

In my experience, my manufacturer's first response was to tell me to check the FR dealer list and contact those places. If I was still stuck, he was able to contact some folks for me and arrange things.

No input on Driftwood. I shopped campers there a time or two, but was mostly just looking.

Call them and ask if they will do warranty work for you. if they say no, call FR for some help finding a closer dealer that will do the warranty work. If all else fails, get the work approved by FR, and have them reimburse you.

Well, we bought our Roo from a Chicago dealer, a 4000 mile round trip.
FR found us a number of local dealers willing to do the warranty work.

But you need to accept that you will be at the back of the line.
Can't expect them to put you in front of those that bought from them.

That's exactly what we did.
Free storage for the winter.
