repairs

In April my wife and I purchased a 2017 26dbh, after taking it on our first outing I had a small list of issues that I wanted fixed at the dealer. The fridge wouldn't work on lp, the front screen door needed adjustment, the ac plug cover had the LED light stop working, there was a leak above the...

After dragging our part-time house for 13,000 miles and probably 85-100 campsites in the last two years here is list of what has broken, what we like and would like, and to make sure everyone knows up front, we love our Grand Design Reflection, and will continue to "drag" it around for quite...

Starting out on our second 2 month adventure for the year. We made it all the way from Texas to California, 10 days with no problems. Starting out this morning for the last one and a half hour leg of our trip, I forgot to lock down the front window rock guard. About 5 minutes from our...

We just got our 2012 HW277 and though it is in very good shape, we have a couple of things I want to make better. First, the outside rail has a stripped screwon the far right side. I don't see a support or aid that it was screed into. Should I just move the screw over, or am I mistaken about...

My wife and I purchased a new Forester in February from a large RV dealer here in So Cal. This is our third new RV in 17 years. After we signed the contract we walked back out to admire our new purchase and discovered the rear cap had noticeable dents in it. The salesman and a service...

This is our first trip for repairs *(hopefully the last :rolleyes:) and I had a few concerns. First, does the dealer keep mind of the battery charge when it sits in their yard? I would hate to have them drain too low if it's an extended stay and damage the new batteries. I do have a 12v...

We had a fender bender with a cement post at a gas station. We did not get any shop suggestions from our ins. co. Can anyone recommend a good RV repair shop in the greater New Orleans area? Live on the north shore. Have been looking at RV Masters in Kenner and Stepper in Harvey, online. Any help...

So here is my dilemma.... We have a brand new Sierra fifth wheel in a permanent campsite. It needs warranty work. There is a dealer 5 miles up the road but I have no truck right now to get it there. Delivery is too expense. $695 minimum. Dealer has no delivery. Has anyone paid mobile service for...

We've been trying to get our side panel fixed since last July. We had a blow out that took out the side. It's been awful and CW has had our TT since July, parked in an unsecured area of their lot.:crying: it took two months and climbing the GS ins ladder to get approval. Once we got past the...

We took our 2015 Forester 24R back to our home dealer, Alliance RV in Wildwood, FL, for warranty repairs as our MH will be a year old the end of October. We received first-class service from both Alliance (Thank you, Mike Wittman) and FR (Thank you, Travis Logan). This is our second service...

We purchased our FR3 30DS in early July and after a few short trips, took it from Southern California to Zion National Park. What a great trip and shakedown cruise for the RV. By the time we got home, I had a fairly extensive list of items that needed to be addressed under warranty. It...

I have a 2015 31bh coachmen 4500 chevrolet and , I wonder if drive shaft should be removed if towed from the front?

I have a 1992 Class C Coachmen. It is in good condition, but needs some work to the over the cab section of the body. The sort of thing a carpenter with knowledge of motorhome construction could do. I've been to several dealers and they all seem over the top on estimates for repair. Does anyone...

Hi All: There was so much wrong with my RV when I picked it up. I spent an hour inspecting it and writing up a tremendous "WE OWE" list with the dealer, and t hen found even more on our first trip. I know nothing is perfect, and I'm not a complainer, but does this seem ridiculous? My list is...

First, the handle to the screen door broke. So I carved this: The folding dinette leg system broke as well. I didn't like the bulky, heavy system anyway: So I made a single folding leg: And a support board attached to the wall. The table connects to it via Velcro: I like this much...

OK, so I have the new to me 07 Hawk at home now, details of the quick decision and trip/truck here http://www.wanderthewest.com/forum/topic/10180-possible-hawk-purchase-for-f150-sc-install-riser-required/[/URL]']07 Hawk. I have an Xterra that has made several trips out to Moab, and had a year...

I dropped off Rooby this morning at FR to get some much-needed repairs. The camper was in an accident (not my fault) in late Fall and ended up with a hole in the side, crushed-up steps, lost awning arms and some new racing stripes. FR is going to replace the door-side wall in addition to the...

While finishing up the pre Xmas camping crawl back home with the grand boys I fire up the compressor and check pressures before we start the last 200 mile leg. Got zero on the RR firestone air bag, go to air it up and hear a hiss. The good news here is that the air leak is somewhere above the...

Well got done using my unit and have accumulated over 40 items that need to be repaired or ? Everything to screws coming out every where to broken drawer bottoms, weak brakes, latches not staying latched to seeing outside light from inside the the unit, (and I am not referring to windows:)) and...

Not that we are pessimists by any means ~ just realistic! We are at the moment :roflblack: driving from our home in Parkland, FL (about 40 miles north of Miami) to Wildwood, FL (about 250 miles north of our home) to pick up our 2015 Forester MBS 24R. We would like to know if anyone has...

Anyone ever send their motorhome back to the factory for service? Mine goes back in a few weeks. Were you happy with the repairs? I'm thinking this should be the best repair shop available.

Hi! I was given a 2002 California by Thor mirage 5th wheel. I pulled up all the flooring yesterday because there was a soft spot. It's a bad soft spot! The main slide on the passenger side has an entertainment unit, fridge, stove, sink etc..... The area at the corner or the slide by the door is...

Like to start out and say a BIG THANK YOU to Forest River, The Crews and without saying Bob and Cindy. I will start with the things that FR or partners repaired on my unit at no cost to me being an owner. There is alot to be said about a company that takes the extra step to help keep us safe and...

I recently re-strung two of our day/night shades by following the instructions found on this forum and on various YouTube videos regarding the restringing process. The restringing itself was tedious but not difficult, as has been stated on here many times. However, I ran into a problem which I...
