Received recall for fuel tank braces defect and took it to camping world of gulf breeze, fl on 4/18/19 where I purchased it in feb 2019, and they waited until 4/26 to order parts from jayco. Jayco shipped on 5/1 and was received by them on 5/3. I have called several times and they tell me one time they received parts and when I call again they have not received parts. I AM tired of getting the runaround from them. I AM still waiting for it to be repaired. This is now 5/13 and they still have not fixed it. It has been almost a month since I dropped it off to them. They would not let me leave…
