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 myself. The dealership said they fixed some of them, but they didn't. They did fix the genset switch that was erratic. Other than that, they did not do much. We like our Sunseeker. I'm just saying, whatever you buy, be prepared to deal with stuff. Here it is:
2014 Sunseeker 2300 Chevy chassis, list of repairs
PROBLEMS FROM FACTORY OR SOON AFTER DELIVERY:
Dinette seats and table mis-installed, table won’t fit between seats
Dinette top works loose from mounting bracket (not enough screws)
Bath door latches poorly; pops open during travel
Polyethylene baggage bins poorly attached to body
Fuse box door won’t stay latched
FW fill hose has upward loop
Genset while off will make clicking noise. Once, it started up on its own.
Genset choke goes over-center and gets stuck there
Gasketing of battery compartment under step missed the corners, was in mid-air.
LED lights cause AM radio interference
Entry door binding and bending
Can see daylight around lower part of door area
WH T&P relief valve weeps when on electric heat (replaced, still happening).
Reverse-wired cig lighter 12v outlet by dinette, fried my 12v USB charger.
Roof-sidewall trim screws exposed to weather, not Dicor’d.
Rain gutters dump right onto inside of opened cab doors when exiting in rain.
Compartment in front of right rear wheels takes on water (poor application of foam sealant).
Poor radio reception (common in Class C’s with fender antenna).
LATER REPAIRS:
Entry door gas strut too strong, bottom of door too weak. Flexing, will break.
(And, the flexing allows the door to slam into the awning arm if it’s out.)
Backsplash trim wallpaper in kitchen has bubbles. (Not a moisture problem)
Need to caulk exposed screws on ladder and bottom flange of compartment door openings.
Upgraded Serta mattress does not hold up. Replace with aftermarket.
