A.dog,
WHat dealer have you been using for repairs? I haven't heard of to many Attitude owners with water leaking issues. Not to say it can't happen. I have plenty of experience with water leaks on my WW and can tell you they are no fun to deal with.
I purchased through Happy Daze in Sacramento, and they did the first round of repairs on ~30 problems straight from the factory after they did their own "PDI" and told me it was ready to be picked up when it was first built & delivered. The 2nd time I went down to pick it up, they hadn't installed the "water filtration system" that's listed as standard from the factory, so I drove home again (50 miles one way) without my trailer while they worked with Eclipse to get the part & install it... which ended up being just a Camco in-line charcoal water filter like the one I have on my fresh water hose I use to fill & supply fresh water to the thing anyway. Installation involved cutting the cold water line to the galley sink & installing the filter inline, so I'm sure swapping it out annually will be fun, involving towels & such to catch the water that will drain out. I have a better water filtration system installed on the 1/4" line to my home refrigerator. I finally towed the trailer home from Happy Daze after it had been there from mid-August to the weekend before Christmas last year.
After using it in the spring (first outing) on a trip to Yosemite, I found that the shower enclosure leaked, so I called up my local dealership, All Seasons RV, and they were willing to do a warranty repair even though they usually don't like to do warranty work on an RV not sold through their dealership. After they said they fixed it, I towed it home (only 1 mile away, so much better than going 50 miles to Sac & back). I tested the shower the next day & found it was still leaking, so I called them up & arranged to bring it back in. I reminded them I was planning to use it over Labor Day weekend, so I expected it to be corrected quickly and at the top of their list... they called me to say it was done about a week+ later. This time, I checked the shower for leaks before taking it home, and I found it still leaking from one side of the door enclosure. This time I believe they took it apart & re-built the door enclosure with silicone & more attention to detail to be sure they didn't have to do it again. 2 days before my Labor Day weekend trip, they had it done & I picked it up after checking & finding no leaks in the shower.
Now the issue of leaking windows leaves me hoping it's just that I'm not supposed to use an RV brush running water through it to wash the windows, but I'm thinking it probably means I'm going to have to bring it in for more warranty water-sealing... is all this trouble common on Eclipse RVs built around June, 2013 - August, 2013? I hear so many positive stories about them that I'm thinking it's just a case of mine being built & inspected by some careless employees who hopefully aren't working there any longer.
