Hello all, I have a friend who has an auto dealer license so he has access to dealer only auctions. Would I be better off going through him or trying to buy a conversion off ebay? I'm looking for either a ford or dodge 2001-2005 for between 8 and 15k. I want a hightop conversion with power sofa, rear air, entertainment center etc. Is there really a lot of difference in conversion companies? Thanks!

I have a '97 Ford E350 (Class C Mini Motorhome) 11,500 GVW, and I just want to relay an experience I had with Air Lift, because I feel their Customer Service/Tech Support went above and beyond my expectations. I added rear a rear air spring system with on-board compressor and dash-mounted controls to adjust the ride when towing and/or in high winds or on curvy mountain roads. I am generally very pleased with it. I can also add air to increase the clearance in the rear when I need to go out a driveway. My system came with a parts warrantee for 1 year on most, 2 years on some named components, and lifetime on the springs (airbags) themselves. However the installation was handled by Camping World, so the labor was not covered. A few months after installation, while towing on a trip, the compressor would run but not add air to the springs. I spoke with Air Lift customer service, who said it may be the compressor and Camping World could replace it under warrantee, but Camping World would not give me a replacement part without a service appointment to "check it out" at no charge first, which was reasonable. They had the vehicle twice, the second time for three weeks (these were "appointments") and they knew I would be happy to have the part exchange and was willing and capable to install it myself. Finally, I said I was coming to get the vehicle; I just wanted it back and the exchange part when it came in, but they decided to take a compressor from a kit they already had in stock, I doubt if they "checked" anything at all. What really griped me was they wanted to charge me for the labor to exchange the compressor without my approval, when I just wanted the part under warrantee.  That was a year ago. Long story short, recently the same problem emerged again, Air Lift's tech support suggested something different. They helped me fix it directly, sent me parts twice (no charge, even though it's just out of warrantee, no questions asked) included parts Camping World did not include in the original installation, were very easy to deal with, and followed up with me on each of my voice mail questions. That's customer service.
