Re: Roof problems
The photo I posted is of the damage before the service center "repaired" it. I'll post a photo of what they did this evening. I've been reworking it and using dicor to basically do the job they should have done in the first place on this "repair". They refused to turn it in as a warranty claim when I requested they do so, and then they pushed that it was clearly an insurance claim and I need a whole new roof. We have a week long vacation planned pretty soon and I don't want this thing in the shop because then I'll never get it back in time to get on the road. In the meantime, after reading the comments above, I will put together an email to Keystone customer service telling them my story and sharing photos. At this point, because of the "repair" work, I doubt they'll do anything. But at least I will have tried....391Views0likes0Comments- 245Views0likes0Comments
Roof problems
Tell me what you think... The roof on my 2014 Keystone Laredo 292RL pulled loose from the trim that holds it down in front. Doesn't look like it will be covered by warranty - we're just outside of a year on the original warranty. The local yokel service center "fixed" it by creating a larger mess to deal with, so I'm there with dicor working on things myself. So I'm wondering...is it just my luck? Is it Keystone? Is it something that could have been prevented if I had a 5th wheel with both a front end and rear end cap to help stabilize torque on the rig? Would a different manufacturer be more likely to fix this problem if it was their product? I'd add a photo so you can see what I'm working with (pre-service center crap) but I can't figure out how to attach an image.8.1KViews0likes25CommentsWhisper Air versus a unit with dumps
We have loved having our Keystone Laredo with two a/c's and camping in Texas in the August/September -- it's worked great for keeping us cool even when it's over 100 degrees outside. Now we are looking at getting our next trailer -- we can get another Laredo, put the 2nd a/c on it, and know we'll be happy with how cool it keeps us. The wife is looking at some of the extras on the Alpine (liking the extra cabinet space, countertop space, and convection oven). We stepped in one last week and thought it seemed like the whisper air system wasn't cooling as effectively as the two units with dumps on them. Does anyone have a rig with the whisper air that can compare it with having had two units with dumps and how the whisper air cools the rig down in hot weather? Thanks!1KViews0likes3Comments
