Another RV with problems.

Purchasing an RV is the ultimate definition of "as is"...

[minnow]

Typical dealer response; can't get authorizations or parts... Blah, blah, blah. I admit it is hard to get authorizations and parts when no one actually calls or places an order. I also like the line about being 7 techs short. Well then fire 7 sales dudes and stop selling until the shop catches up. Yeah right.....

Doubt I would ever buy a new RV again. Used RV is a better investment and if your a smart shopper you're likely to get one where the bugs have been fixed. Life is too short for constant warranty work.

In just a few hundred feet he almost stalled, it seemed, from the recoil.
The north end of the field was tin shanties, right up to our wire, almost.Next day and thereafter when I took the jeep o the USO, or the PX across town I kept a more watchful eye.I never did see what he hit.

What in the world has this got to do with a new RV that has multiple problems and the difficulty in getting correct repairs done?

Yep, lost me on this one too.

You have to understand Old Timers Disease, easy to get lost in your thoughts.

The article can be summed up in one sentence towards the end.

"WMBF reached out to Thor and Forest River for comment and did not receive a call back."

When confronted................Hide LOL.

They can blame the dealer, and the dealer can blame the manufacturer, but ultimately in the end they are in it together and know exactly what they're doing, and what they can get away with. Nothing new here. They intend to ride the wave until it crashes like it always has, then start over.

But...............this may be a game changer, or it may not. Even if it is it will take years and then they'll find another loophole to exploit.

GAME CHANGER?

Yeah, we read all the horror stories and figured going into RVing that the unit is pretty much sold "as is". Get smart and do our own repairs or be prepared to have our local shop do it (they're pretty good and reasonably priced).

A warranty means nothing if you can't get it fixed or get it fixed right. That said, we've been pleasantly surprised with the one time we had to take it in. Was diagnosed and back to us in 3 days. Um, yeah, the "thing" was my fault. But zero charge to me for the visit.

[azdryheat]

That's why I did my own repairs on my Voltage.
