Fit in List

I went on a "fit in list" at Gaffney. Does anyone have any experience with how long it takes to get "Fit in?"
We have to stay with our coach so I worry about long we will be sitting there.
Thanks
Bill
I posted the question on FCCC forum as well

Usually, only a day or two and they can take care of you, especially if only for service.

I called them at 4pm on a Friday when I had a suspension hose start to leak. I was told they were booked up but I should come in Sunday and check in with them Monday morning. They got me in at 10am and we were fixed by 3pm.

Freightliner in Gaffney is the only service center I will use for yearly service. They go out of their way to accommodate everyone. I have had nothing but great service there. All the people I've met there waiting for standby service were taken care of in at most a couple of days.

Bill, I read on another thread that you are an Onan Dealer. I'm needing and end bell for a 5500W Marquis Gold. Any idea where I can fin one? New or a good used one will be fine.

Had coach at Gaffney Service Center this past Sunday night. I had two options: drop keys off with a list of things I wanted done or wait until 7:45 am to go to service desk Monday morning.
Since I already had a work order written up last tuesday, and many were standing in line already, I forsaked the line and used drop box. I got on the road and called two hours later. Freightliner confirmed they had control of coach. For me, I will pick up coach next Saturday.
Information about Service center: they have about 20 parking spots with electrical hook ups, no water at parking sites. So, as you enter the back there is a dump station with potable water just before you go and park. Make sure you put some water in coach water tanks if you are not carrying water already.

Many families were staying with coaches while repairs were getting done. If you are lucky and can get on the standby list (if you will) early enough, a good chance again you will only be there only a day depending on repair needs.

Service Tech Representatives will only say the odds of getting done in a day with repair/repairs as standby is the luck of timing. Getting you back on the road by Friday if you are there by Wednesday morning is there ultimate goal as standby.

Appointments are over a month or more out right now. So getting work done on standby is still pretty reasonable with regards to time. Personally, I believe the Service Center is pretty cool and accomadating for Rv'ers in need of help. So far I am impressed that they have the mindset to help, there only limitation is timing when you hit the facility. I got there Sunday and only four electrical hookups left. Looks like some overflow parking without hookups available though.
