09 paint not right

[L_farmer]

We found a motor home that we like and like the price of but its 2000 miles away. Its an 09 High End coach and they tell us that the paint has some spots that are "popping" up from the walls. Has anybody seen this? We cant tell anything by the pictures and we wonder If someone has had it on their coach what they did. The sales man says several high end coaches all have this problem this year. Thank you

That is why you must buy it right.

He claims 2009 had a batch of bad paint used on Holiday Ramblers, Country Coach ect. We don't want to drive to see it if it is a big deal.

I'd never buy a coach that I couldn't inspect myself.
I would ask the dealer to get an estimate to repair (in writing) then proceed.

Question?? have you inspected the unit? how do you know what it will cost to correct the situation when you don't know what's wrong with it?

Nothing looks worse than paint peeling off and blisters in the fiberglass, it might be minor today but what will it look like in 3 years.

I would pass.

Look out the front window and drive. you'll never notice.

Sitting outside at a campground and seeing the paint peel away and blisters makes one want to stay inside or not go camping.

get some bumper stickers stick them where they are needed

Suggest you walk away. If it is a paint problem that is one thing and with money can be fixed. If it is a problem with what is called "sidewall checking" or "sidewall etching" that is a problem with the fiberglass siding material and cannot be permanently fixed short of replacing the material. Any kind of "fixing" or painting is temporary and the condiyion will reoccur. Many manufactures had the problem and my understanding from Newmar was that the last year of their problems were in 2008. I had it and my siding as as well as many other Newmar coaches have had the material replaced.

This wouldn't be a 2009 Holiday Rambler Endeavor in Tx at txrvoutlet would it?
PM me if it is.

I,d ask for more info, have them explain it better, might call a local body shop and see if you could pay some one to go check it out. make them a good offer to go check it, might be the best $100. bucks you,ve ever spent.

It may be of some help if the dealer took some pictures and sent them to you. You could post them on here so maybe someone could really identify what the issue is. Just a thought.
