Not a happy camper. Bought new last November. Dealer stored it for me. First trip out with it was Memorial Day weekend. Dry camping at local short track. Electric tongue jack would work(had to hand crank off & on), hot water tank would not fire on propane. Thank goodness I brought my generator so we could have hot water for showers. After getting it back home. I dump the tanks in my septic and used the black flush. Lucky me, it leaked a lot of clean water into the camper. Brought it to dealer afterwards for repair. They rewired the tongue jack, changed out the circuit board in hot water tank & put in a missing o'ring in the black tank flush. Took them three weeks. Thats BS!

Second trip out went to local campground. No issues! Ya.

Third trip. Dry camping for a week at Loudon, NH. About day three, we noticed the under belly was sagging in three spots where the tanks are and exposed some under belly & insulation. Is this sagging common? Going to drop it off at a different dealer later this week. Starting to wish I had not bought this camper. Should have kept my 2004 Coachmen

Sorry to here of your issues but not uncommon. all most all new campers come with issues and yep som of the dealers drag feet when it comes to warranty work. as far as taking to different dealer I'd forget it as if you did not buy from them they may refuse to warranty work or just put you a the back of a very long line and you may wait months to get fixed. Best to deal with where you bought it. You need to stay calm when discussing issues as if you tend to get irate you may have long wait there also.


You may want to post this issue under the thread shown for Cherokee. You will get more results for help. Later RJD
