I know Tom. When you get into opinion things it can be rough. I am not sure why because when it is technical I get so much great stuff. I suspect there is so much anger when a new coach has problems it is reflected in the post in various ways. I have traded way to much to be sensible and can say that quality control is not what it should be. My experience is Winnebago. I love the coaches and overall they are good and well built. My last two had the hot and cold on washing machine reversed. Not a big deal but so easy to avoid and reflects bigger issues of speed in construction. Many of my issues have come from secondary products like a leveler or radio or satellite dish. Seems to be the case with many things that aren't motor home was well.

i agree many things are not motor home manufacturers issues but it is still their product, customer care counts.

Absolutely true. When you shop and find radios or levelers or slides that don't work or have lesser quality it reflects on the company decision making on the entire coach.

I think you and I could be good friends we see eye to eye

Mr. Steve, this is your first post and you are bashing Tiffin? Where were you when you were buying it? You didn't have any questions then?

You may be jumping from the frying pan into the fire. My brother bought a new 2014 Tiffin in summer of '14. He had a couple of small issues and Bob Tiffin called him back personally (switch on a slide-out).

I don't think Winnebago is immune to 'new coach' issues.

What kind of problems are you having with your new Phaeton?

MM.

sorry for the first post about attacking people this is the post I intended to respond to.

Have you checked any Winnebago/Journey forums?

Maybe telling us some of the problems with the Tiffin will help understand the situation.

well nothing changes.This is not my first post so attack me??.I had one Winnebago coach and it was wonderful,so I bought a higher end Winnebago,guess what the second(2013 model ) was so bad I baled for a 2014 Tiffin which was just as bad (tiffin is living on past reputation). I am very happy with our present coach .
I rarely visit this site because of vicious snarky people waiting to attack.

Have you also taken a look at Anthem, American and Newmar. I wouldn't rule them out. Give them a quick look, at least the brochures, to see if they light your fire. They are all well built.

I have had four Winnebagos and liked them. Like my current one but quality control has slipped. They are making the repairs under warranty and glad I am not pressed for time.
