I just wanted to give everyone an update. I had a paint and body shop repairman come look at the Palazzo this morning to give me an estimate for the cracked fiberglass repairs in the front. What I am about to tell y'all I hope you will not still insist this is the norm for new RV's. But he looked around the whole Palazzo for other issues. When he went to the back he noticed something that I noticed starting to happen a few weeks ago but did not think much about it, this is what he found.
There are small bubbles forming in the paint all over the rear of the Palazzo. After taking a closer look he said it appears that the gel coat is lifting from the fiberglass. He said the paint looks fine. However, the heat is causing the gel coat under the paint to lift. It will only be a matter of time before the paint on top chips and fails on the entire rear.
The only options available at this point are to replace the entire rear cap or sand the entire thing down and re-fiberglass and re-paint. Is this really the norm for new RV repairs? We have some serious paint and body issues now.
I just wanted to let the public know. I am waiting on a response from Thor to see what they will do. It's not like I am trying. I was going to wait and take the thing back to Elkhart. I honestly don't think it will make it that long.
