It is what it is.... industry wide.
No . you and caper couldn't be more wrong . . just because you accept it are say it's standard practice is to me a joke

Again good luck. If I'm wrong and they pat you on the bottom with a new furnace, I'll take my plate of crow. I'll be waiting.

I'm bringing this up for discussion and to bring light to the inadequate furnace and an extreme weather package that is misrepresenting what it is - I'm looking for a friendly resolution - so let's keep any threats down. Positive resolutions always work best for everybody

Agreed, and hope for the best for you PH. The whole legal nonsense is never a good path to take. The manufacturers know the law a lot better than the end user. Try honey and forget the vinegar...

LOL. I turn it on and heat comes out.... I'm fine with it. The garage is not heated enough without floor insulation as required with the fuel cells there and the singe heat register but I have an portable that will substitute there when necessary.

I just realize that nothing is perfect no matter how much we pay. It's all a balance. There will be surprises on the positive side and things we wish were better. My trailer came with things I had no idea it had and I'm a research freak. Completely OCD. It also came up short in a couple small areas. Nothing worth threatening legal action over. Just the nature of an RV purchase. I just spent over 2 grand today on tires to make it safe getting rid of the sub par ST tires that came with it. I knew going it that I would have to and resigned myself to the fact. FR also did away with the LR radio so I ordered a head unit and speakers for the LR. I look at something lacking in a purchase as an excuse to make it better than the factory would have given it to me...

PS: My username "taken" comes from years ago when I tried to register for my first forum. Everything I came up with gave me the response, "the user name you are trying to register has already been taken."
So, I went with it and make it my handle. It's mine everywhere I join now. Well, except for one board where some wise guy already took it! There I am registered as "usernametaken..."

Right on Allen.... And I don't mean to sound unsympathetic. Just been down the road before and used to the scenery... I do honestly and really hope I'm wrong and both you and northstar get the resolution you are after...

I have been following PH and NS on their purchases since I'm getting a 29HFS delivered in a few weeks. The furnace issue is an interesting one and I have already been talking with my dealer about it. In the end, I will "ask" for some help from the dealer and FR. I'm not expecting any miracles but maybe some token from either of them to help correct a misleading marketing practice (i.e. Extreme Weather Package with a lower than adequate furnace).

Even with a sister-in-law that is a lawyer, I'm not a suing type of guy. I will use this experience as life lesson (no matter how it turns out...). I have faith that I will love this TH with the good and bad parts of it.

I have and always will appreciate the open and constructive discussions on this forum. I have learned a lot here and hope to supply meaningful help in the future as I learn more with my new TH.

Happy Camping Everyone...

It'll happen eventually when she's having a weak moment. When it does, record it and set it as your ringtone for when she calls...

To be clear I don't believe in any legal type action - that's not my style! But I do believe in the power of Social Media - and putting the truth out there.

I have faith that FR will make things right -

It's a very easy solution for FR to correct my only complaint and I do believe all further buyers will be aware of the furnace / extreme weather package is in no way what it implies.
