Very Disappointed with New Keystone Alpine
We just purchased a 2018 Alpine 3400RS. We custom ordered it as we wanted full body paint, a generator, and dual-pane windows. I took delivery two weeks ago. This is my fifth RV so I am no stranger...

I don't understand RV manufacturers. They have paid my local dealer $5k easily for work done to mine purchased last year. And I paid FR $250 for a second year warranty which I have a feeling it'll be the best $250 I've ever spent. I'm lucky that I have a great local dealer to work with me and I often go a month without camping so I'm not worried about it sitting at the dealer. And I didn't purchase local. It truly is amazing all the stuff FR messed up on like loose fittings and wires. I'm surprised more don't burn up or get water damage. Last thing I need fixed is the dumb faucet that opens up in transit.
Forest River stopped offering the 2nd year warranty extension @ the summer of 2016 so get your use out of it before it expires which has to be soon.
The reason was stated to be they were not allowed to offer it any longer due to some government regulation. If they were interested in offering it and govt regulation was the true reason, they could just offer it across all lines and tack on the cost to the wholesale price, but they figured out what a money loser it had to be mostly due to their crappy assembly processes.
They only stopped it in some states and they upped the cost from $150 to $250. I specifically talked to them on the phone last summer about it. As I read the exact same thing online.
