Yikes! I would think that the MFG's know it is an industry wide issue they would repair under warranty. That being said I can't imagine the frustration by owners who are told they have to pay to get something to be a known issue repaired.

Mine was around 1500 Cdn also, was authorized for 1000 work wise. I then reached out to PT directly for decals. VERY pleased with end result.

I have no idea since the dealer sent me to the body shop that repainted it. Cost was covered by PT. But like others have said and what I've heard, anywhere from $1000 to 1500. When I got it back it looks fine but upon closer inspection there were a few small imperfections with the paint job I can live with. If I paid out of pocket it would have been a different story. It's been a year so we'll see how it holds up.

Here's the web site. Auto Repair Shop in Glen Mills, Garnet Valley, Media, and West Chester, PA Unlimited Truck Fabrication
I just dropped it off where the dealer told me to. Keep in mind, this dealer isn't the dealer (2 hours away) where I bought the camper. They referred me to one that was closer because they couldn't do it for the amount PT was offering, hence the closer dealer then referring me to the body shop a few miles away from them.
My whole story starts here. http://www.forestriverforums.com/for...tml#post782429

I brought mine in for the dealer to look at the faded cap and couple other issues. He extended the kitchen slide and cut and rolled up the flooring under the slide. That was the last straw with a 8 month 5er. I left with Keystone Montana 3711FL front living room - my first 5er was a Keystone Cougar and never had a warranty issue.

Wait so you had a Crusader that was 8 months old and it had serious issues so you traded for a Keystone Montana? Do I understand this correctly? I love the Montana but my 2014 F150 won't cut it so sticking with my Roo for now

Yep that what I did!!! This wasn't the first issue I had with it but it my last LOL. The Montana is at the very top end of my F350 SRW Diesel but still under payload and GVWR by just a couple hundred pounds.

Great to hear but I'm jealous too. I was at the dealer last December looking at a Rockwood with checkbook ready when a Cougar 303RLS arrived. Bought it in an hour after it arrived at the dealer. Jealous as the Montana would be great but way beyond the payload of my 2016 F250 6.7. This will be the last towable ~~ probably a Charleston, at least that is what we are planning.

Unless the RV has the "Full Body Paint" option, it's more than likely a colored fiberglass/gelcoat process.

fadded cap
I had the same problem with my Crusader. Rick at PT needed photos of the problem from my dealer then he sent them the decals. My dealer got the paint done and applied the decals. The finished job looks great.
The replaced decals are somewhat different from the originals but still look good.
What I understand is that the supplier of these dark coloured caps realizes that there was a bad batch of these caps produced and has extended the warranty to 30 months for repair.

So I got my front cap replaced due to fading and cracking. Prime time stepped up to the plate and took care of me. No complaints only praise. I have to wonder though if the new cap will last longer than the old cap. Mine is 2 weeks old so I certainly don't have a clue. Any one else have a clue yet. Mine was not paint red but replaced.

No one knows at this point if the cap supplier has changed their process enough to avoid the problem. All you can do is the same as those of us with painted caps-- apply regular wax and hope for the best.

Has anyone thought about or done a vinyl wrap instead of painting the nose cap? Not sure how it would work but it seems that they are able to wrap anything these days.

Nothing I considered. Likely cost the same. Don't see an advantage over paint/clear/wax.

wraps don't last more than a few yrs. before peeling/fading

Exactly. Decals are same material and they seem to deteriorate especially on the front cap.
