I have a 2013 Attitude 28ALKG that I bought used last year. While washing the trailer this summer I found some water leaking in one of my bedroom windows. When i say leak... I mean streaming.

I pulled the window only to find it was never centered when originally installed. Simply scraping the sealant away exposed a small area of the cut out. Worse yet this poor installation did not have the window gasket against the wall of the trailer.

Checking the trailer this weekend after the big rain we had, I found two more windows leaking. Scraping the caulk off confirms my worries of poor window installation. Yet again, the window was not centered and part of the cut out is exposed.

Now I have to remove and reinstall all the windows to ensure they are sealed properly.

That's something I came across before when I posted:

"When I washed the RV (first time I've done it myself) just the other day, I got up on the roof & used one of those brushes that runs water through the handle to the brush head to rinse while brushing away the grime. I found no leaks in the roof or the new fan, so that's a major bonus for the work done by my local dealership shop. I washed the sides with the brush, then put away the hose & brush. I checked inside to see if any windows had leaked. Found that at least one at the rear leaked a lot, and the window at the head of the front bed leaked a little to allow the sheets, pillow, and mattress to be just a bit damp. With the summer heat & the MaxxAir fan running, I'm not too worried about it being an immediate problem, but again, this is truly the bane of my experience with this Eclipse RV - water leak problems."

I think I may take it to the local dealership to get the warranty repairs approved before it's out of MFGR warranty. I don't think I should have to do the work myself on something they couldn't be bothered to do right in the first place.

well, my rig has now been at toscanos for 3 weeks with no updates. multiple inquiries to dealer and eclipse directly have yielded no response.

was really hoping for a better outcome, but looks like adog and i are going to end up with similiar experience

another fail by eclipse if there is anyone reading this

I noticed they responded to another couple guys' posts regarding issues when they posted on Eclipse's Facebook page. When you take your complaints to social media where other potential buyers can see issues, they tend to pay attention a little quicker. Worth a try.

good call, already hit them on Twitter, Facebook is next..

this also might help

I almost bought this trailer, but after reading this thread, I'm going for a Lance.

Trailers ARE getting better, but it's a slow process.

I hope Eclipse takes care of you, but you shouldn't have to deal with this******in the first place.

Two completely different price points. WHile Lance makes nice stuff you will never get as much trailer as the Attitude at or near the same price.

After dealing with my purchase of the Eclipse Stellar for less than a year & towing the damn thing to a shop more often than I tow it to a camping spot, the difference in price begs the question "How much is your time worth?" Like I've said before, if I could have bought any RV through a customizer, who would have taken whatever was delivered from the factory & made it perfect & to the specs I wanted (and not full of BS problems I'd have to return time & again to the shop for warranty repairs), I'd have been happy to pay a small premium for the lack of a headache I would have had.

Thanks Eclipse.
