Lexington back home again!

[Dave T]

After waiting out the winter to take the Lexington back to the dealer to fix bad work from last fall, it's finally home. BUT .... When I picked it up on Friday afternoon the wind was blowing hard & the fun stuff was about to happen ! Just as I turned on to Highway 53, the main awning started to unroll. This is less than !/2 mile from the dealer. I pulled over to the side of the road , the wife & I tried to roll up the awning. We just about had it done when pieces started to break! I called the dealer for help & he sent a tech out to help. The awning was not locked in the roll up position. Now, how do you suppose that happen?? Whether the dealer gets positive or negative in the dealers section, depends on who has to pay!
This rig is jinxed! If I could roll back time. No Forest River product for me & I would not buy from this dealer again!

Goes to show you, ALWAYS inspect EVERYTHING before you pull away. Never assume a tech with zero investment in your rig checked for you.
