TT Warranty question

Wanted to see if I could get everyone’s opinion on my current warranty situation. I took my trailer in a couple of weeks ago for some warranty work. A couple of minor issues and what could potentially be a larger issue of the screws being so loose on one side of the slide that they are backing out of the exterior and are less than finger tight. Dealer says everything is fixed under warranty, so I go and pick it up. Fast forward to now, and I’ve just returned from a camping trip and discovered that the issue with the slide screws was not fixed at all. Turns out that they replaced some interior screws, and did nothing to the exterior screws.

The problem is that my warranty expired within this two week window, and dealer says there is no way it will be covered even though the issue was identified before the expiration period. Is this accurate or should I try and contact Forest River on my own to see what can be done? Thanks for the help!

    Are these the screws that attack the lower trim to the trailer?


    my thoughts also. if the problem is only loose screws keep it simple in my opnion. life is to short to waste at a dealership or dealing with small warranty claims.

    i learned early how to diy most repair and maintenance work on TT. we are currently on our 2nd TT.

    just a week ago i found our new TT purchased last november developed a small leak from slide window. my inspection found a window installation "**** eyed" that led to a recent small gap in the foam tape gasket on the frameless window. my walk thru pdi that i did myself missed it. you could not see it unless you totally removed the window treatment/valance and blind. not something you can do to an rv that you don't yet own on a pdi.

    i could have taken it to the dealership and it would have been covered under warranty but we probably would have lost at least a month of camping waiting.

    google search and youtube taught me how to remove the interior windown trim and correct the bad installation. took me 2 hours but i know its done correctly.

  • no idea what you can/should do but I would be livid and losing my mind at the dealership. bring the work order with you as proof and remind everyone within ear shot what they said.
