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 windowsMine: New 2015 Attitude 28SAG with three (3) windows leaking.1) Front bedroom emergency exit window door side2) Rear window door side3) Rear window street side

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.

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"

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 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.

Does your Eclipse Attitude/Stellar have leaking windows?

We bought a new Attitude last April and we have had issues with windows leaking as well, the large living room window leaked, the area around the slide out leaked, caused some issues with the fiberglass, which had to be replaced. We also had problems with the caulking on the whole camper, in less than a year we have had to replace almost all the caulking. There are several other issues with the camper that have had to be fixed, some we did, some was covered under the warranty. It appears that their employees did a terrible job of making a quality product, we are always finding little things that need fixed. Too bad, I really like the layout of the camper, but the problems are awful. I would not recommend anyone buy a camper from this manufacturer. I know I will not buy another one from them, we usually buy a new camper every 10 years or so. We will find another manufacturer to purchase from next time.

Well on my trip out this weekend I just found out that my hot water heater was leaking from the hot water fitting. Water was pooling up inside the cabinet, and leaking out onto the floor. The inside of the cabinets are soaked and so is the floor. Have only had this since August, and it's been leaking ever since... I'm disappointed.

Had A similar problem and discovered it several weeks ago when washing the roof. Water all over the inside on the floor. Ended up being the furnace exhaust cover. Had to pull the exhaust cover, unbolt and reposition the furnace so the exhaust cover would sit flush with outside of trailer and re-seal.

So now:
- 3 windows that have had leaks
- leaking furnace exhaust
- badly warped interior door to the bathroom that I have still been waiting on a replacement since early Jan.

So far not real impressed with the quality. Love the trailer and layout but all these water leaks don't sit well with me.

On another note if any of you have the optional solar panel they are also having issues with water leaks. I got a letter in the mail about a month ago from Eclipse to take it back to my dealer for repair. About two weeks later a guy from Eclipse called me that he was in my area and stopped by the next day and did the repair. Now that I was impressed with.

Wow that sucks, sounds like they need to spend a little more time on training their employees how to properly seal a window. New units shouldn't be leaking like this...

So your emergency exit is on the driver side. Mine is on passenger. Go figure...

Mine was also leaking but the only way I knew was because I was getting water leaking down the wall on the inside under the window. Did you not have water present inside? Now I'm still concerned I could have an inner leak and never see it.

I went through to many water leak issues on my last POS WW. You would expect after spending $40k on a new unit that you wouldn't be dealing with this******again...

welp... SO bummed

add another one to the list. Was getting ready to go out this weekend and noticed the whole panel that sits over the bed of the truck came off and was hanging! All of the screws that hold that panel in place are rusted and broken... unit is about 5 months old... been on the road 2 times.... WOW.

This is right under the emergency exit window.. i wonder if that is what is leaking.

I emailed Danny and he got back to me right away with an appointment for repair ... a MONTH out... but still .... he was prompt.

That sucks... Did you not hear the water pump occasionally cycling with everything shut off?

Had the water pump off most of the time, only on when I need it. The leak doesn't matter whether the pump is on or off. It's leaking from the fitting on the water heater tank.

See pics here.

Not a toyhauler - but I purchased an Eclipse Milan(26BHSG) about two years ago. A year after we purchased it we took it for an 8,000 mile trip around the country. It rained on us many, many days. I guess that's why the Southern part of the country is so green! At any rate we had ZERO ISSUES with leaks or anything else. The only issue I have now is the paint peeling off the top of the front cap. I'm not sure what would cause this.
