Gry Wolf 26RL

amdisc · 08-06-2012, 04:24 PM

I have a 26RL with lots of problems, including Lippert frame problems, electrical, problems, you pretty much name it, and theirs something wrong with it. I was just wondering if anyone else has had problems. The factory has finally decided to tow it back and go through it. I love this thing but it lives in service dept. at my local dealer..
Thanks

What year is it, and what specific problems are you having? We have a 2011 Grey Wolf, it has had a slide out leak (Twice), and now in for axle/tire replacement.

It's a 2011..
It's just a mess.. but I can just be hopeful that Forest River will do the right thing. I don't want this to turn ugly. The entire roof had to be replaced, The water heater keeps tripping out the power pole breakers, the A/C short cycles, the frame by Lippert is off and the coach leans to one side and you can't level it. The list goes on and on

Sorry you are having so many problems out of yours. It is frustrating when you buy something new, and have so much go wrong with it. But, from what I hear, its an ongoing problem with all the companys making RV's & TT's. There does not seem to be much quality control in them. Then others say they have had no problems at all with theirs and are as happy as can be with their purchase.

I have been doing this RVing thing for years, I have purchased many RV's over the years and I have never had so many problems with any of them as I am having with this one. I told the factory that I think they built it on a Friday, cause they were in a hurry to go home and just threw it together. But at least there going to try to fix it, but that doesn't help the fact that it has lived 99% of time in the local service dept.

I have a 26RL 2012. It has had minor problems and one major - axle alignment. Once that was done, all seems well. Leaving again next week sometime for a few days, then off for 5-8 weeks up and down the Eastern side of the USA. Should be a good time.

Do you have the all Fiberglass body and do you have the Fiberglass Front, with the siding, on the sides?
I have te total Fiberglass body on my 26RL

Did you see the link?

That dealership s where I purchased my TT, and I remember the story in the paper as well. So sad, but glad everyone is ok!

My Gry Wolf, was picked up and is in route back to FR..cause I have so many problems with it..Hopefully FR will do the right thing

BigTJohn · 08-10-2012, 12:12 PM

Amdisc - I have the fiberglass front w/alum sides. Hope all goes well with your repair.

FR now has my coach, they have been in contact with me and they assure me that the coach is going to be checked with a fine tooth comb. I do have to say that they have so far responded and hav stepped up to the plate by taking the coach back to the factory. Time will tell if they get it repaired properly.
The Saga continues.

Well,
Here we go again, the coach was delivered back to Lazydays Rv in Tampa and my service rep. contacted me so I went to pick it up today only to find that for some reason the weight distribution saddles had been relocated which ment I could not hitch it up for towing, the coach had looked like it was about 5 years old and had never been washed or waxed. The gas tank cover was all scratched, someone spray pained the toung and got overspray everywhere. The side of the coach was covered in grease & oil, one area of the rain gutter was damaged. So the coach is still sitting where FR dropped it off.

I went back to Tampa today to pick it up for a second day in a row, just to find that the LCI electric tonge jack has failed for a second time within a year. FR is going to replace it again, but this time I told them I didn't want a LCI jack. Also FR or their transport company crimped the wiring harness to plug into my truck..Once again another 70 mile round trip for nothing..
This is a total nightmare and I thought RVing was suppose to fun and relaxing.

Sorry to hear your having so many problems. Mine is going back to the factory at the end of October.
