In answer to some of the questions listed above. 3 units had to have the roof AC replaced. 2 had water {plumbing} leaks. 1 had a problem with the slide outs and 1 had to have the water heater replaced. 4 of the units went directly to the campground.
Wow, minor stuff to be sure. The 'quality' that the manufacturer put into the coaches is summed up as two plumbing leaks and one slide out issue. All the A/C and water heater issues were not the 'quality' fault of the manufacturer. They might be the fault of the appliance manufacturer but not the coach manufacturer. A billion dollar submarine has sea trials to check all the parts and systems to make sure they work. Every RV dealer suggests the new owners test everything near home to allow for the things that are not correct to be fixed before really using the coach and being disappointed. Since four of the seven units went directly to the campground it appears that the sea trials were never carried out and therefore those issues not as easily fixed as could have been at or near the selling dealers. Complain that stuff does not work correctly, but don't give the dealer a chance to fix it easily. I tend to see some culpability on the part of the new owners in at least four of the cases. Were the coaches were really 'new' as A/C units (four of them) failed right away. How statistically odd!!
