...because it looks like we're going to need it! We've only had our Starcraft AR-ONE 14RB for a few months, and we took it back to the dealer for the second time yesterday.
This time, it's because the freezer door (inside the one-door fridge) won't stay shut. The spring is broken. Why? Who knows... Also, we looked under the little couch and noticed that the braces have pulled away from the frame at the top by about 1/2 inch, so eventually, I guess we'd have fallen through. The repair guy shook his head and said he'd probably have to rebuild the bracing b/c it wasn't put together and braced correctly to begin with.
So...we're without our camper for a few weeks (the dealer has several campers to work on before ours), during the best camping season in the south...
I've said it before, and I'll say it again, you get what you pay for. After everything's replaced/repaired, maybe we'll have a decent camper!
Since it's less than 1 year even a NORCOLD has 1 YR warranty and Dometic refers have a 2 year warranty and those warranties apply to all new RV regardless of the RV manufacturer so I'm not sure what your point is:h
Having say a Starcraft RV has absolutely nothing to do with the issue you're talking about here.
You might do well to review and learn what, who and for how long the various things in your RV are warrantied for since you apparently don't understand this information yet.

Well, aren't you just a helpful soul? :R I've had several campers over the years, so I know how this game works. I KNOW all new campers will have some issues. This is, however, the first one that has been built this shoddily.
I KNOW the fridge isn't Starcraft's fault. The two problems I've had with this brand new fridge (Norcold) have been unecessary and frustrating, IMO. It still doesn't cool as well as it should, but it's working better after it's first trip to the dealer. However, the couch being put together the way it was IS Starcraft's fault. The repairman at the dealer couldn't even believe how badly it was built. He plans on rebuilding the frame so that it's sturdy and safe.
I have a good dealer, so I'm not concerned about them ignoring my camper. We've bought from them before, and they have a good reputation (shout out to PECO Campers in Georgia).
