2016 Storm shows daylight at rear of motorhome at floor

[bevsguyrich]

Just purchased a new 2016 Fleetwood Storm 30L out here in Arizona. It already had 2000+ miles on it as delivery mileage. We have put about 800 miles on it. I got up one morning and happened to glance down and was shocked to see daylight coming in at floor level where the floor meets the rear wall. This is a solid wall without a slide. Is this a manufacturing defect? I am sure that this is going to suck dust, dirt, and water up into my brand new motorhome. I'm wondering where else this mh is not as tight as it should be. I'm having the dealer check it out, (if I can ever get in). Is this common? Any thoughts?

What he said. I would as mentioned take pictures from both inside and outside and do a lot for investigations. Be prepared to return the unit to the plant for fixing.

Please, please post a picture or two of this.
I never surprised at some of the quality lapses in RV's, but I have GOT to see this one...
Absolutely amazing for an almost $100,000 rig.

I would take some pictures and contact Fleetwood while waiting to get into the dealer.

Unfortunately, that seems to be normal quality control, or lack of, in the RV Industry.

Please, keep us updated on your progress.
