Thoughts on manufacturers

I purchased a 2014 Minnie Winnie in June 2013. I have had several issues, some normal, some not normal. I spent the first year talking to Winnebago and taking it to two different Camping World dealers. My problems still existed after these visits. I got only promises from the factory and the dealers.
When the warranty expired I took it a local dealer and paid for several repairs. But I have never resolved a rook leak over the drivers side.
In June of 2018 I took my coach to Camping World in Garner, NC. I spent 2300.00 to have the seams removed and resealed. Still a leak. After two returns I have decided to return it again. I after this visit I'm going to trade. But not for another Winnebago. I don't know what's better. I will just roll the dice again.

That very persistent water leak would be a very tough pill to swallow. Shame on Winnebago not resolving it for you, and very unfortunately nobody else either.

Have they sealed around the top amber-colored and side red-colored marker lights? Water often makes a way through them.

In out first motor home with a seamless fiberglass body, water was getting in through the marker lights. One marker light at a time, I removed it, silicone-caulked the hole where the wires come out and also where the screws go in, then quickly re-mounted it before the sealant cured. That cured water coming in forever.

We replaced that motor home 11.5 years ago with a new 2007 Phoenix Cruiser. The manufacture clear-caulked around each side marker light after the full body paint job was done, and they have never leaked.
