You bought it used if it's a 2014 and you owned it for 8 months. There is no warranty at this point and Forest River is not obligated to help you as you are not the original owner and the time limit on the warranty has expired anyway. Why don't you go to a good independent repair shop and get it fixed and get on with camping. I doubt that the factory sent it out with the wires zip tied to the springs. Not difficult to fix this.You are beating a dead horse, the factory is under no obligation to fix anything. Sorry.B.O.
Um, it is a NEW unit still on the one year warranty. I looked at new 2014, 2015 and 2016 Montanas at a couple of dealer lots just this past weekend, for crying out loud.
Clearly, the factory sent it out with the jacked up wiring, or something happened to the unit between the factory and dealership resulting in some bozo doing an improper repair. I doubt the latter. The reason I posted here asking for help rather than criticism (you and dobbs) was because there are some smart folks here who might have some valid thoughts. I'm trying not to overreact to this and other issues because I know all RVS have problems, but this one is kind of the straw that broke the camel's back.
I've never in over 40 years seen electrical wires zipped to springs but I did miss them at PDI. This is just one of the items on my ever-growing list of unresolved issues, most of which are hidden items undiscovered during the PDI.
