John, we used the NRV service center in Perris for all coach related repairs. When the company went BK in 2007 it took me about 8 months to get over the loss. Now I feel fine and don't have any problems using local service facilities.

I imagine lots of folks will be experiencing the same feeling.

Lots of members don't like extended service contracts, however they surely will be saving a lot of "Hind Quarters" down the road.

National may have been the first but they were definitely not the last...

Affinity Group has been named in the list of companies that will probably not make it through the year without filing bankruptcy. Doesn't surprise me the way they stuck their hand into every thing.
