Very Strange.....or is it?

Hi All,

I purchased a new 2013 EC 950 in July....washing it this morning I noticed when I pushed up on the front fiberglass cap, under the bed (over the cab) there was about 1-1.5" of play. What I mean is the fiberglass is not attached to the bottom of the cab-over. This starts about 1 foot in from the front and sides.

Is this de-laminated or a flaw that I need to have corrected before the warranty runs out?

    How about a picture or a signature line
  • Well I certainly don't want screws holding my fiberglass to the camper. That might cause some spider cracking out from the screws down the line.

    I have exchanged emails with EC's rep, Brad Boyle. He wanted some pictures so I sent him a movie of me pushing up the bottom of the camper.

    We'll see.....

  • This happened with my 2005 EC 950 a few years after I got it. A local repair shop put in 6 screws with chrome caps that fixed the issue and didn't look too bad.
  • The belly of the cabover should be adhered to the frame. I won't jump to any conclusions why yours isn't but just know it is supposed to be.
  • Its something that you should have addressed immediately, especially while its still under warranty. My guess is that the area was not glued properly, since its such a new TC.
