Re: Flying microwave!
I like a happy ending! Big Brown truck came today with a couple big boxes. DW 'what did you buy' ME 'nothing'.....I didn't....it was the new microwave, cabinet door and installation flange. Just had to post as this is the 'fix" I asked for..... Mike Mikestatland@gmail.com512Views0likes0CommentsRe: Flying microwave!
On blowout damage....I had a '95 Dodge CTD tow vehicle....got a right front blowout that took most the door 'skin' off and whipped the bumper plastic into the windshield, cracked it..all this in a nano second!..so in conclusion a blowout can do thousands in damage on any vehicle. Oh those were commercial t/a radials, 4 years old, properly inflated on a 1 ton dually....lost a rear inside dual a year of so after....that fiberglass explodes....even with an inside dual blowout.

'Hikerdog' I do understand and can appreciate your stance on this issue however for a less than 3 month '(old?)' coach to sit at an 'approved repair facility' while payments, insurance, warranty and non use be endured is not logical to me. I have a through understanding of proper metalworking, construction and engineering techniques. I cannot imagine yeilding to a repeat of poor workmanship. Certainly Winnebago has no way of knowing this but my word. They are not being asked to be liable for anything but their workmanship, they did so. Now it is me that cannot and will not fail. We have fallen prey to cooperate less than quality for far too long, it is long overdue that true accountability, first time, be demanded.511Views0likes0CommentsRe: Flying microwave!
Okay.....agreement has been reached. My wife has climbed up the Winnebago phone ladder, no easy feat. With her insistence and valid points Winnebago has agreed to send a new microwave and replacement cabinet door pending photos and letter, (e-mail). They, rightly so, assume no responsibility that my installation will no fail.....I do. Yes,they initially insisted on 'back to the dealer' rhetoric....'we will increase the warranty as needed', DW 'what about the driveline warranty?' Undeniable point! Team player...glad shes on my side....has been for 38+ years. Aint love grand. :) So Jumbo Jet, our 8 digit MH will be whole.....msrp :)511Views0likes0CommentsRe: Flying microwave!

They are in the 'considering' mode. We do not give up. Why make payments on something to be in 'storage'. I am simply asking for the broken parts to be replaced....due to their poor work. Simple, huh.511Views0likes0CommentsRe: Flying microwave!

Firstly I have travel plans and do not want to give up the coach to an unconcerned party. Also, the shotty craftsmanship needs correction rather than a repeat of the same. I am asking them to replace the damaged parts due to their awful workmanship and lack of qc. So far they are not cooperating. As one post pointed out,what if injury or death occured. WINNEBAGO, CORRECT THIS ASAP....THIS IS NOT ROUTINE FAILURE!511Views0likes0CommentsRe: Flying microwave!
Only 4 screws hold, held, the microwave in. The fact that bracketing is held by numerous screws directly to frame members in not relevant.....weakest link is what we are speaking of here. Now Winnebago wants us to go to the warranty shop.....sure I want to let them have it for months, we are well aware of this nonsense, while the warranty evaporates. Not me! Replace the damaged parts and I will fix it in a way FAR SUPERIOR to your poor 'craftsmanship'. WINNEBAGO,READ THIS AND KNOW YOUR COMPANY NEEDS TO LEARN FROM MISTAKES RATHER THAN IGNORE CUSTOMERS COMPLAINTS....ALSO, SEND A REPLACEMENT MICROWAVE AND DAMAGED DOOR....AFTER ALL IT IS YOUR LACKING THAT LED TO THIS.

Hi All, We did our second journey in 'Wanda the wandering Winnebago'this past weekend. All was fine, enjoyed nature had fun with the DW and the fuzzy kids. Nothing could go wrong.....that is until that right turn, near home, into the gas station....CRASH! The microwave jumped to its death....yes, it hit the floor, the door was separated. Well we filled up for the next 'adventure'. And headed home. Upon my doing an 'autopsy' I find the self tapping screws had no purpose whatsoever, they were too short to reach the metal brackets and self tappers DO NOT hold in wood. Also the right under the sink door has a dent so deep that the inside is cracked. This is a 2016 26HE.....my retirement gift! I have found so many stripped self tappers due to rapid, agressive installation. We enjoy the rig very much but it seems I am always fixing something. Oh, I do know my hardware and proper construction methods....40+ years as a prototype, maintenance and repair machinist, (never production) built the house we live in. A bit disappointed.... maybe I should head to IA and teach?
