Re: considering a Dolphin

I've had the same, excellent service experience with 
Winnebago/Itasca.   Actually, I've bought my parts through 
the "factory dealer," Lichstinn Motors.  I've called a half a dozen 
times for various small trim/electrical items.  My going-in thought 
was that they'd consider me a nuisance (old, fairly rare rig).  The 
opposite has really been the case.  They seem to take pride at the 
challenge of finding the part you need for an older rig.

Of course, I usually look through the parts catalog ahead of time and 
have a pretty good idea of what I need:
