Posting this to help prevent the frustration I experienced with my Ford V 10 engine in the Fleetwood Storm. The unit is a 2015 30 L and I had been experiencing loss of a gallon of coolant every thousand miles. I had pressure checks done, Ford diagnostics done to no avail. No wet spots were left on the ground etc. Finally a Ford dealer in Palm Bay Florida diagnosed the problem and the run around started. Ford stated that it was a Fleetwood problem and Fleetwood claimed it was a Ford problem. After refusing to pay their $80 dollar diagnostic fee, I decided to repair the leak myself. The leak was a small crossover hose on top of the engine that had an over tightened clamp failure and the leak was hitting the side of the block and evaporating on contact. I don't know why his crossover is there but it created a year of frustration. I now realize that Ford is reluctant to honor their waranty and Fleetwood was no help as well. If you don't want to have these problems choose wisely. I personally will look elsewhere next time I purchase.
Good God. Grow up and take a chill pill. I can't wait to see what you'll write when you have a REAL problem. IMO, both Ford and Fleetwood are glad to lose customers like you!
