Default Need Colorado Repair Service

I have a 2014 3124KB needing some service. Does anyone know of an RV repair facility in Colorado familiar with TrailManors? I'm mainly concerned whether they know how to open and close without damage.

Until recently, one of the nation's premier TM dealers / service shops was The Car Show in Colorado Springs. Although they are no longer in the TM business, you might call them and ask the same question. They are great people.

They will ask (as will I) what service you need. Most service can be performed by any RV service place - it is not TM-specific. The exceptions are service on the lift system itself. You are right to be concerned with whether they know how to open and close it, but I have usually found it possible to ask them where on the lot the service will be performed, then park it in that location and set it up before you leave. When I can't do that, I have asked the service manager to open and close it with me, and they have always been happy to do so. After all, they don't want to cause damage to the trailer any more than you do. But take the time to acquaint them with the process - don't just drop the hitch and drive away.

To me, the most important point to be sure they understand is "Don't move it while it is set up!"

FYI, The Car Show not only went out of the TM business, but went out of business altogether. They closed their doors completely.

Thanks. I actually bought the unit from The Car Show in the spring of 2015. I was very happy with their service and disappointed when they closed. I noticed one time when I went there to get a repair part that they had no TM inventory on their lot. They said they couldn't get inventory. I was hoping to get a few items repaired that are under an extended warranty before the repair facilities get busy. Since many were sold in CO, I was hoping that someone had found a repair facility that had some familiarity since many will have to schedule it and opening it may not be an option. I'll check around.

I live in the Denver area and have been trying to work with the factory in Nebraska since August. It hasn't been going well. The Car Show was great, but now there is no one that I know of. I was told by the factory that another dealer in the Denver area was interested in carrying TM's. But not sure if that happened or not. I am coordinating with the factory to possibly do some refurb work if I make the 9 hour drive to them. My worry is I get there and for some reason they can't do it on time and I get stuck with that problem. I have had incredibly bad communication with them so I am having a tough time believing they can get the work done. I just posted that story in another thread I originally posted the beginning of my issues.

If you find someone that can service, please let me know.

I haven't found your other thread, so I don't know what kind of refurb work you need done. Are you sure that the task is TM-specific? As noted above, unless you get involved in body panels or the lift system, almost everything in the TM can be serviced by most any RV shop. Very little is TM-specific.
