any LD experts near Auburn, CA?
Yahoo Message Number: 157147
I am possibly purchasing my first LD this Saturday afternoon in Auburn,  CA. I have already posted a topic asking for help navigating the inspection and the replies have been so very helpful. I am planning on bringing a mechanic with me but I had the thought that perhaps there was someone near me that has specific experience with LD that could better evaluate the rig. I would absolutely compensate you foe your time.

Auburn is a nice place. I used to live on Dry Creek road. There is an RV shop that in my experience is very honest and does good work. They are not LD specific but they could check the appliances, electrical, etc. They do major mechanical work along with coach maintenance. Installed new brakes on my LD 4 years ago and still working fine. I would make an appointment if you chose to go there.

I'm sorry Bob, but I would RUN not walk, away from Affordable RV..they totally screwed my rig over not once but SEVERAL times, and their reputation around there [I lived there for thirty years, and went to them w/my 1998 from the day I bought it]. Let's just say, they charged outrageously for VERY poorly done repairs.
 Like, to re-coat my roof when I discovered I had electrolysis on the roof, they charged me $4200!!!--over $2,000 more than any subsequent reputable RV repair place would have charged for the same repair..and four days later, during a heavy rain storm, the roof LEAKED LIKE A SIEVE!~!!
 I'm sure other long-timers on this list remember back then..they are also the ones who ruined my whole paint job on the rig..another LONG story probably remembered. There's more.

I highly recommend Byron's Mobile R Service..he's excellent and has done all the rest of the upgrades and work on my rig after I learned my lesson at Affordable. He used to work for them, but quit because of the shoddy work they wanted him to do, as well as the unethical way they dealt with people...like me.

Gini, I think our wires have gotten crossed. I have never been to affordable RV. I don't even know where it is. I was referring to http://www.auburnrvservicecenter.com/. A search shows an affordable RV in Newcastle, CA. which is not Auburn. Am I missing something?

My mistake!! Bob is right, Auburn RV is NOT Affordable RV. A picture came up when I pulled the URL, and it looked like the front of Affordable's shop...and I went off from there. They were SO bad, I didn't want another person taken in by them.

My apologies to Auburn RV. As I remember, they were considered good to do business with.

I still HIGHLY recommend Byron's Mobile RV tho..he really is the best...along the lines of Mike S.
