We special ordered our coach last March and took delivery in May. The first 4 months we had to take it back to the dealer 5 times first the HWH jacks would not work in Auto then the back up camera died, then the slide motor died and the controler board went with it. Then the rear Tv had to be replaced. Most all of these problems where the vendors that Winnebago uses to put into these coaches. I could go on and on with other problems but won't. I think they need better quality control before they ship this things out. Also the dealers need to drive these coaches after delivery and check them out before delivery. We only had 3 weep whole covers left on the front windows when we drove it home. You could not talk and be heard with the wind noise. Called the dealer and he said the driver from Forest City drove through a bad rain storm and said the drivers are good at letting us know if there is a problem. Again I thought the Dealer was to check out the coach and test drive it but I guess not. Every one says this is normal and next year will be better and it takes around 6,000 miles to get all the bugs worked out . I hope so ours had 6,600 miles on it. We had a 2003 Winnebago bought used and drove it for 5 years with no problems. Guess this might be the last New Coach I will buy. Next time two years or older will be what we will look at.
