Does your Eclipse Attitude/Stellar have leaking windows?

[N-Trouble]

Chime in here if yours leak. State how many windows including location. I wanted to get this going to send a note to Eclipse so they wake up and start taking note of these leaking window issues so many are reporting. Also post up any pictures if you've taken the time to remove any leaking windows

Mine: New 2015 Attitude 28SAG with three (3) windows leaking.

1) Front bedroom emergency exit window door side
2) Rear window door side
3) Rear window street side

Since pics were requested, here are a couple of the bedroom emergency window before I removed it. You can see the cut out at the radius of the corner. I knew I should have taken pictures of the seal once the window was out. It was obvious where the upper edge window seal did not make contact with the wall.

Pulling the window isn't that difficult, just takes a bit of time. The window treatment is the worst of it.

I have a 2012 27CBG. I had the bedroom emergency window leak on me. Ended up with wet pillows/bed. I recaulked all the seams and it has not leaked since. I better check it tho cause we got some serious rain the last few days. That window didn't seem to be installed flush to the skin like all the others and the gap left room for water to penetrate.

Simple QC issue. I've had a few of those with mine but nothing I couldn't fix myself.

Picture isn't needed... Window leaks typically appear at the bottom of the inner window frame and run down the inside wall directly below the window.

It's dumping rain in San Diego right now, and because of this thread I just went out and checked all the windows in my trailer. Granted it's only 4 months old, but no leaks from any windows or vents.

Thanks again Eclipse for being proactive with your customer service. That is how you keep customers for life.

The only way we can improve is to listen to our customers and know what we need to work on. We appreciate the feedback.

Good to see a MFG step up (I hope). I will follow just to see how they resolve the issues.

How long have you guys had these trailers that are leaking? I just picked up an Attitude 19FB new in August. No issues so far obviously, but what should I look for?

I picked mine up end of Oct. Took a good hard rain to expose the leaks. Just look for water leaking from under the bottom of the window frame and running down the wall

I have placed some duct tape around the outside of the windows I had leaking until I can get them fixed. Were getting pounded right now in Cali and so far my tape job seems to be holding.

I had window issues from day 1, though I only knew about one at the time. When looking at the outside, I could see the window cutout for the left bedroom window. There was about a 1/8th gap between the top corner of the window and the wall. Eclipse "fixed" the issue by caulking around the upper portion of the window. I have since had almost all of the windows leak, some have been fixed by caulk. The large passenger side window leaks from the aluminum seam at the top of the window. This is where the aluminum frame meets in the center of the top, if that makes sense. Two other windows are leaking through screws in the window frame. I guess need to pull the windows, re-tape them and re-caulk them. Doesn't sound like fun at all.

Every manufacturer has quality issues from time to time. As a whole I still think Eclipse makes a quality product and in most instances they step up and correct issues. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another one. I know several people who have owned one of their trailers and been very happy. You also have to consider Eclipse is one of the largest TH manufacturers out West. There are a lot of their units out there and why it might seem like a lot of "issues" reported.

But lets not derail this thread... Please stick to the topic. "Leaking Windows"

[Sandia_Man]

Thinking of getting a new TH soon and have the Eclipse Attitude as a real possibility, now with all this talk about their issues they are falling quickly from consideration. Sharp looking units with many bells and whistles, guess they should pay attention to the small stuff first. I'll keep reading to see who all has issues with these units.
