Winnebago - Defective and Deceptive

The decals on my 2014 Winnebago are failing. I asked Winnebago to replace them after my dealer (last year) said Winnebago said no. Well they also said no to my letter requesting help (yes, I am past the one year warranty). They just left a message on my phone no letter. As for the Decptive when I bought the RV new Winnebago advertised the motorhome had to battery shut offs (advertising in both on line and written info). The RV did not have both shut offs, and no they did not change their spec's, they only advertised both and now refuse to pay for the shut off they advertised but did not include. This will not be my last motorhome but deffinitely my last Winnebago.

    I think almost everything on a new class a rv is pretty much low quality, they look good new on the lot though. Bad investments for sure.

    Sorry about your decals, but the shutoff is likely as a result of a recall from Ford on previous RV's using the F53 that the BCC can fail and leave you with no power to the chassis. During driving this could be catastrophic. So Ford no longer includes a shut off for the chassis batteries, only the house. So this is a Ford thing, not Winnie and it affects all manufacturers. They should update their documentation but I have seen a lot of gaps in every brands specs so nothing new here.
