Re: First Time Buyer...Updated 03/06/2006
Thank you for your post I printed out your pre-acceptance checklist before we picked up our new motorhome on Saturday. I is a 2005 Winnebago Voyage 33V on a workhorse chassis. The PDI guy did not expect us to ask him to demonstrate how to put the pop outs in manually. He got the book out and read the directions. Then my husband and him each got a crank tried to find the nut and just started turning we heard a couple of clunks. After about 15 minuets and still nothing the PDI guy tried to put them in with the electric motor. Now that would not bring it in then he got a panic look on his face and got the manger who called a service tech and tried to tell us that the slide needed to go in exactly at the same rate on each side. That it was not calibrated anymore. Which did not make sense because it never moved. They were going to have to call the slide manufacture on Monday. A few salesman kept trying to figure out what was going on then one on them figured out that my husband and the pdi man were turning it in the wrong direction the started turning the other way and one side started to go in and the other side my husband just pushed it in (not cranking at all). Then we were in the office waiting to talk to the finance man and they came in and told us they took out a motherboard from another motorhome (exact kind) and now the motor works. We went out there and tried it and it sound like the motor is only pulling in the one side and dragging the other. We took it to the service dept this morning Sorry about the long story. Has anyone heard of this and should I check anything on the motorhome when we get it back. P.S. yes we still bought it I hope we did not make a mistake maybe we should have ran out.485Views0likes0Comments
