My wife and I are purchasing a 2014 Winnebago Vista and travelled to the dealer on Saturday for initial inspection. It looked great, just what we wanted..except during the manufacture a screw from the inside had punctured the exterior wall and left a small hole. Before we sign the papers to purchase, I want to know how serious a repair this will be and are there potential problems that can result in the future due to this damage. I am surprised that Winnebago didn't catch this problem before shipping. I guess their quality control is not as good as we thought. We opted for the full paint job so I don't feel good about paying all that extra money and then having to worry about future paint or leakage problems. Should we delay signing the purchase papers until the repair is done? Your opinions?
Surprised? I'm not one bit. Quality control is not he same in building a auto, not even close, actually pretty non existent. This will be just one of the first things you find most likely. Yes, it should be able to be fixed properly. It's just a screw that went too far. Had one on a fiver dining table that went through the floor. I suppose they missed the carpet being ripped up.
My opinion is it shouldn't be a problem to fix. But go through the rest of the MH in detail. Starting from the outside working your way in. Don't be surprised what you find.
Where is the hole?
