Need VIN Assistance For Factory Power Seat Option
This is going to sound a bit odd but I have a 2019 30X that did not come with a power driver's seat. After putting on around 11K miles, I decided that having a power driver's seat would make some of the longer drives more comfortable.
Here's the catch: I went to my local Jayco dealer and they said that the power seat base / pedestal is a Ford part. So I went across the street to the Ford dealer and they said it's a Jayco part. Typical answers by people that really don't care to assist their respective businesses in making some money.
I called the Jayco Parts number today and they wanted the last 8 digits of the Jayco VIN (Not the Ford VIN). I gave her the VIN number and after a few minutes, she came back to the phone and said that my coach did not have the power seat option and that without a part number, they could do nothing. So I asked her if I had purchased a 29MVP or a 30XP (The Prestige versions still had the driver's power seat) and the power seat had failed under warranty, who would handle the repair - she responded that Jayco would.
So I then asked her that if I got a VIN number from a Jayco E-450 MH that has the power seat option, if she could then get the power seat base and pedestal part number and she said Yes. Mind numbing that without a VIN, they can't even find a part number for a part that was used for many years on various coaches.
I'm not interested in getting someone else's VIN number but what I am wondering is if someone that has a 2017-2019 Class C E-450 chassis (and I'm pretty sure other older models are applicable as well) that has the power seat could call Jayco Parts, give them the last 8 alpha / numeric characters of their coach and get the power seat base and pedestal part number and relay that part number to me. I'm still somewhat astounded that these folks can't do a simple search and get the appropriate part number but it is what it is.
Thanks for any assistance!
