I received a service bulletin from Spartan about my Ventana. The turn signal sometimes doesn't flash in a steady blink.

According to Spartan's web site, the closest Spartan motorhome repair shop is in Baltimore! None of the Spartan shops in VA are motorhome shops. Grrrr. Hammer

If the name of that shop is "Davis Engine" in Baltimore, avoid it like the plaque....

My EXDP was towed there for the now famous "belt issue" and they did more harm than good, although the should be able to
fix a turn signal. Oboy

When I get around to it, I'm going to call Spartan and ask them what needs to be replaced.

If it's just a flasher that plugs in under the dash, I'll ask them to ship me one.

The cost of fuel would make this "free" replacement rather expensive.

Oh, and it's not Davis Engine. It's Middleton Meads.

I suppose I could contact the non-MH Spartan shops to see if they'd do this if it's not an easy, do-it-yourself repair. Not that Winchester, VA is very close, either.

I should have said there aren't any nearby VA MH Spartan shops. I'm just outside the DC Beltway.

You dont NEED to go to a Spartan shop for Spartan warranty service...they will authorize RV repair shops to do their warranty work!!

OK, when I take my Ventana back for a few warranty issues, I'll see if they'll do this, too.
