Lance 1181, First Impressions Wrong

I am sorry you had problems like you did. I understand the frustration and how upsetting it can be. I was in your shoes in 2004 with another MFG. trying repair 30 structural broken / leaking items.
Who would ever have thought that poking a 10 foot hole in the side of a camper with a motorized wall that goes in and out would be a bad idea ?
If it makes you feel any better about the gasoline and bank payment , I had to take a $15k hit and say good-bye to my tc.
I paid and observed someone to strip down the camper and rebuild it correctly . I was not going to dump it some unsuspecting person.
Mass produced items ? There are some that hold up well and others that don't in all the brands. Buy the floor plan that fits your needs and try your best to maintain it, they are all basically made from the same materials that they mask with fancy terminology. HOW MANY dealers have the expensive equipment to perform 'vacuum bonded' repairs ??
Apologizing ? although it would be professional to practice it. They don't have to because the guy next door will not remember what happened to us yesterday and will buy one tomorrow because the "new brochure" shows something like a "new style nose cap" that some people actually believe is going to turn this whole thing around. Most people have to get burned themselves in order to wake up.
