List of repairs from day one for my Class C
This is not a gripe post! I just thought it might be interesting to see a probably typical list of factory defects. This is for our 2014 Sunseeker Class C. I will add, I fixed most of them myse...

I guess we are the exception to the rule here. Our 2017 Winnebago Spirit 25b has been very trouble free, so far. The fit and finish is remarkably good. Not one thing has broken, or fallen off. Everything has worked and performed as expected, from day one....appliances, furnace, air conditioner, TVs, generator, etc.
The beds are very comfortable. The bathroom functions well...love the glass shower door. The kitchen is small, but it works for us.
Have not returned to the dealer since the day we took delivery.
Just a couple of small items that needed attention.
Both sides of the kitchen sink leaked. I removed both drain baskets, applied new plumbers putty....problem solved. Had a small leak at a water pump connection....easily remedied. That's IT.
We have just returned from a 3,200 mile trip from Arizona to Illinois, and back. Not one problem the entire trip. Everything worked perfectly, and as designed. We had everything from 95 degree days to one 32 degree morning...no problem. The coach was comfortably cooled or heated, when needed. The dual pane windows help a great deal. Drove through some good rain one afternoon. Not a leak to be found anywhere.
The Ford E450 chassis drives beautifully. Shortly after purchase, I did have an alignment after it was loaded as it would be used for travel. Even in some pretty strong wind...no steering problems. We think it also really rides incredibly smooth, and quiet. (I did add an extra layer of insulation to the doghouse) The V10 is awesome...with tons of power. No problem passing the trucks on long hills on I40, or keeping up with traffic anywhere. It was a very relaxed drive the entire trip. Averaged 8.8 miles per gallon, and I have a heavy foot. Probably could have done better, but we had time constraints, and I pushed it pretty hard. Didn't buy it to worry about mpg.
We washed and cleaned everything inside and out today, to be ready for the next adventure. Even washed the fiberglass roof....which also looks perfect, and the caulking looks nice and thick everywhere. Looks like they did a good job at the factory.
The odometer currently reads just over 6,000 miles. We couldn't be happier.
I'm thinking ours must have been built on a 'good day' at the factory....and that maybe we made the right decision when we bought this one.
