I'm sorry you didn't find those things during the PDI. And if it were me and I somehow ended up with those issues. I would fix as many as I could myself. None of them seem to be anything more than fit and finish. And I would know that they were fixed right. My thoughts about RV ownership include fixing thing myself. Even under warranty. It makes the whole process of ownership more sustainable IMHO...
Exactly. I fix a lot of things myself. Dealer had my camper for three weeks this spring to replace the fridge and run down a short. New fridge has the same issue as the other and I fixed the short inside of two hours after I got it back home. No sir, I don't like dropping it off to sit for weeks and then still having to do the work myself.
An electrical part broke last weekend and by Monday at noon I had talked to the dealer, factory, and the manufacturer of the part. Got a new one shipped to me from the factory that I installed and ordered an extra from Amazon should it ever go bad again so I don't have to wait for someone to make a decision and send another. Never did call the dealer back after they insisted the part had its own serial number and the needed it.
No sir, warranties to me are no better than the paper they are printed on. If you can't do some of it yourself then plan on increasing the initial investment of your rv for whatever you may find that your willing to pay someone else to do.
My advice is be diligent about checking spots where problems have been known to occur. New or used pipes will leak and thing will fail to function.
If it's built by humans it's gonna break.
