Emergency help, transport company delivering now

Well... the OP did say "delivery from Dynamax."
Sounds like factory to me, not dealer.

But, we can guess all we want.

Until the OP comes back and tell us the ENTIRE story, we will simply keep giving guesstimations.

I'm surprised though if it was coming from the factory that Brian hasn't chimed in. He'd likely know about a return for repairs.

The driver now said 10pm, which of course how can I inspect it in the dark. Plus he said I will get the company contact when he gets here, but of course they will be closed.

I don't like being put in these positions. If I sign and find a problem in daylight will I have recourse?

I plan on making note that it was returned in darkness.

Any tips? Anyone encounter this?????

Sorry he will be here soon.

What was the outcome dannko?

Is this a unit that you own that was returned to the factory for repair?

Yes, your a mod, I tried deleting the post since it already went down but could not. Can we delete posts?

If dannko (the OP) comes back on here, and reads our inputs, he might be able to update us with what’s really happening instead of us speculating all over the spectrum.

Smart man, deleted post I thought, it was in for service. It was damaged, Dynamax is taking care of it. My first driver was so professional, the return driver was a tool.

So... I'll ask again... what was the outcome?
Everything OK?

Totally confused. I'm out.

Unit was damaged, Dynamax is taking care of it. I tried to delete post the other night but not possible apparently to delete posts.

The pickup driver was very professional and you could tell a trustworthy guy, the return driver was a total piece of work and he damaged it and was trying to pull a fast one by delivering at night instead of daylight. He was lying to me all day during communications.

Which post where you trying to delete? The first post? You only have a limited amount of time to delete posts and since this was a new thread and has multiple replies, it wouldn't make sense to delete it now.

I'm guessing the rest of the story is here?

You know....

The OP started this whole run by using the title “Emergency help....”

Maybe he should have been more careful NOT to use the word Emergency, however, I’m sure emotions were probably running high. That said, a number of replies and suggestions started pouring in within minutes of the posting. Within minutes.

Given this forum is not “LIVE” communication like some consider today’s “Social Media” on Facebook, Twitter, Snap Chat or whatever, he chose to not monitor the forum for our input, and for quite some time I might add.

Now we discuss being able to remove postings that maybe shouldn’t have been made to begin with.

Time to slow down and take a breath people. We’re just trying to help, but we can only help those that help themselves.

Just my $0.02

I'm also curious to know what "damage" occurred and was allegedly trying to be hidden? Frankly, just delivering the unit dirty because it was driven on sloppy roads doesn't qualify. Nor IMHO does the underside supposedly rusting qualify. I lived in that part of the country where they salt roads and it usually doesn't cause any issues that quick. Plus, its only surface rust and it doesn't mean its going to damage anything. I understand folks are very meticulous about how they maintain their rigs but c'mon, this is just from normal driving.

This is what my 5'ver looked like on the bottom less than four months from it's build date:

Some states started to wise up on the use of salt on winter roads. Limited in usefulness when temps went really low but it takes a terrible toll on the rear in bridge decks and slabs where the road is paved with concrete

A lot of states have gone to liquid de-icer chemicals that have rust inhibitors added.

If your undercarriage rust us a big deal to you get underneath and wire brush off as much as possible. Then apply Naval Jelly,, following instructions for set time and rinsing

When dry just spraw with Rust-Oleum.

If you do tow your trailer during winter months where the roads might be salted just give the undercarriage a good rinse when you get home.

Emergency meant the driver was showing up soon. There was one reply after the driver showed up, too late then for more replies, and I tried to delete but could not and cannot. It's just posts, sometimes we need quick help, if we get it great, if we don't, oh well. Don't expect anyone to get worked up over posts, and again it's just posts. Thanks.

[B and B]

So what was wrong ? Would be nice to close out the thread many tried to assist with.

Ok RV Randy the post asked about checking and receiving the unit in the dark. Next RV Randy, would you call this damage or do you think this dirt is ok?

Here are some pics for you RV Randy, now maybe you regularly beat the hell out of yours since your not meticulous, or 3" bend in compartment doors is just dirty and normal. If you need more pics let me know, thanks. Sorry about the pics, they downloaded level, not sure what's up with this site.

Thanks, never drive in that, live in Texas. WE don't have that stuff here. Wire brush? Nah, that would take years and it's in some pretty tight spots. I have to spray.

This was being delivered from service work.

yes I was looking for a quick reply since it was delivered couple of hours after the post, thus the reason I attempted to delete it, but that function is NOT available to me. Thanks

Ah, excuse me, but these are the first indications that you suffered any real damage. Up until you posted these photo's, you had only mentioned it being dirty and suffering from road salt exposure. Others were also asking for closure on the thread, so don't come back with an attitude towards me.

This is legitimate damage and you have every right to be upset over it. The driver must have been pretty dim if he thought delivering it at night was going to save him from being blamed for these issues. Hope you get it all sorted out satisfactorily.

I recently had a transport driver return my Force HD from Dynamax too. It was in for warranty repairs. It was at night. I inspected it in a well lit parking area at a truck stop. No damage. However...the next day I noticed the driver's side outside dually looked low on air. It wasn't low on air, it was just baring all the weight because the inside dually had no air. None! Apparently it had been driven all the way from Indiana to Pennsylvania that way because when I tried to inflate it, it got to 70lbs and blew.
No matter how hard we try, there's always something we miss or something we never even thought of checking that was wrong. I chalked this one up to $500 worth of experience and will know better next time. I had already signed for it and wasn't going to get into a back and forth over it. I'm glad I had a spare I could "throw" on. Oh and a torque increaser and 1" drive socket, ratchet, extension and torque wrench.
