UPDATE: from my previous post.
We had to put our camper back in for a leaking issue, again. We took it to the dealer for them to de-winterize and to review everything since we had a bad winter.
We received it back and said we were good to go. We took it out to our local campground and everything seemed to work except one light bulb. Very pleased until I tried to get hot water to flow through our faucets. Not happening so I decided to remove the panel for ht ewater heater and yup - you guessed it the dealer never turned the valve on for it. It was still in de-winterized mode. Was this a big issue, not really just another issue not folled up on at the dealership.
When we ready to leave the campground I was doing our black tank flush as our last item to be done. We walked to the opposite side of the camper and we heard a "wooshing" sound coming from underneath. I told the DW that it was from the flush of the black tank. She said OK, but why is the underbelly sagging so much. AW - shoot. Turn the water off, crawl underneath camper and feel the underbelly. Very squishy - full of water. So I took a few screws of of the underbelly and - yup - got soaked with about 10 gallons of water. I was using the water reglulator at the time.
Took it to the dealer and they looked at it during the week. Was told that they could not duplicate any leak. I went to pick it up and took it camping. While reviewing the underbelly I noticed it had 3 places where the dealer cut 12x12 squares, peeled them back like they made peep holes to see if they could see anything leaking. They then sealed them back up with black goopy goop and told me there was nothing leaking. This of course after they told me they were going to "drop" the underbelly to reveiw everything.
Once we got to the campground I deceided to duplicate my expierience from before (without getting wet) and sure enough, I could hear water swoooshing again when I use the black tank flush. I carefully removed screws from underbelly and sure enough, out comes about 2 gallons of water. I called the dealer and said I found the leak.
The black tank flush area, as I am being told by the manufacturer that there is a pop off valve and this is most likely the issue. So back to the dealer and at the time of this writing it is still in there being repaired - PER the manufacturer request along with putting a new underbelly on for me since they butchered my first one. I told Prime Time that I wanted everything under the camper to be reviewed for damage and wanted to know why my underbelly sags - meaning did something come loose or are there items not put in the correct location.
I have made and received numerous emails from Prime Time and so far they are taking care of me. This by far from is not over so I will complete yet another post once it is.
I am still pleased with the layour and ammentities in this camper and like it, but am concerned. like I told Prime Time if this camper will hold up for 10 years. It's not like we use this full time as we are just weekenders and a couple of long trips during the year.
